Dumbing Down

Next Lyric
Was much tougher way back when
What a waste, I'm sure they never
Used that stuff again
School no longer fills our heads
With facts we cannot use
Excess information
Makes us restless and confused
[Chorus]
Dumbing down!
Can't add up a bowling score
Dumbing down!
But I know what a condom's for
Dumbing down!
It's raising my G.P.A.
I just show up for class
and they give me an A
kilo-giga hexagram
Vinegar and baking soda
No one gives a damn
Got no time for science
It interferes with sports
Read the comic section
And write a book report
[Chorus]
Dumbing Down!
Try not to give up hope
Dumbing Down!
At least I ain't selling dope
Dumbing Down!
It's raising my self esteem
I feel so good about myself
I could scream
To learn a useful skill
I know I've got the aptitude
To learn to maim and kill
They guarantee I'll be
All that I can be
The bonus is I get to wear
The coolest clothes for free
[Chorus]
Dumbing Down!
I can fix my car
Dumbing Down!
And boy can I play my guitar
Dumbing Down!
It's raising all my fears
I'll be working at McDonalds
For the next fifty years
Would you like cheese on that, sir?
How about a hot apple pie
Have a nice day!
