NOFX - The Idiots Are Taking Over lyrics

It's not the right time to be sober
Now the idiots have taken over
Spreading like a social cancer
Is there an answer?

Mensa membership conceding
Tell me why and how are
All the stupid people breeding
Watson, it's really elementary
The industrial revolution
Has flipped the bitch on evolution
The benevolent and wise are
Being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
The world keeps getting dumber
Insensitivity is standard and faith is
Being fancied over reason
Darwin's rolling over in his coffin
The fittest are surviving much less often
Now everything seems to be reversing
And it's worsening
Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
Now angry mob mentality's no
Longer the exception, it's the rule
And I'm starting to feel a
Lot like Charlton Heston
Stranded on a primate planet
Apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
With generals and the armies that obeyed them
Followers following fables
Philosophies that enable them to
Rule without regard

There's no point for democracy
When ignorance is celebrated
Political scientists get the same one
Vote as some Arkansas inbred majority rule
Don't work in mental institutions
Sometimes the smallest softest voice carries
The grand biggest solutions

What are we left with?
A nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
Who feel it's their duty
To populate the homeland pass on traditions
How to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture

The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
