Mediocre Minds Lyrics

Look around the country, an abundance you'll find of mediocre minds.
Sift through the fodder as sane justice declines, because of mediocre minds.
Shrouded under cover, the most flamboyant guise hides a mediocre mind.
You got yours but you can never bend mine
with your mediocre minds.

When they cry foul you had better watch out,
because you never know which aptitude they're griping about.
Don't act too smart for their stenoscopic ways;
You'll be discarded away.

Reason's not to be what the privileged define
with their mediocre minds.
So many sighted people are so helplessly blind, from their mediocre minds

If you want attention then you'll be asked to bend
But the surest insurrection is enlightenment.
Then you can live outside inharmoniously
without friends and enemies.

They wanna keep me locked away.
'cause I've an overactive brain.

Leaders, presidents and the nightly news guys, cater to mediocre minds.
Reason's not to be what the privileged define
with their mediocre minds.
You got yours but you can never bend mine
with your mediocre minds.
The only natural thing that I really despise
are the mediocre minds-
Mediocre minds.
Mediocre minds!

Greg says he's smart and everyone's stupid

I get the feeling that Greg is looking down upon people who arent willing to dig deeper, instead they accept the lies they've been fed since birth. And to make it even worse, these people not only just accept the lies, but beacuse they arent "enlighted" and not willing to learn more, they teach the people around them the same lies.

Yeah, all that has been said so far is fairly apparent, I'm just curious about the meaning of the word "stenoscopic" in the 2nd stanza.. Anybody??? Even the dictionary in this comment editor wants to correct it. Is Brad so smart he can will a term into existence at his leisure and command?
