right... so sorry buti love this song... and im gonna go on for a while...

"it's not the right time to be sober now the idiots have taken over spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?"

the world is full of stupid people... and it just seems like were all getting dumber. like its contagious.

"Mensa membership exceeding 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 cornered, ostracized, what a bummer the world keeps getting dumber insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason"

because theres so many ignorant assholes out there the people who are smart and actually think rationally are being isolated because of that. people believe things but dont have a logical reason to believe that but because its only few people who have reasoning for their beliefs no-one wants to go against the crowd and agree with them... there afraid of being different.

"darwin's rolling over in his coffin the fittest are surviving much less often now everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening"

it used to be that the fittest survived. kind of like every man for himself. but now its almost like you survive if you go along with the crowd.

"someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule and im startin 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"

theres so many people who dont have a clue about anything who are having children they cant educate them and teach them proper norms and values because they dont know these things themselves. so people are just following things because other people are. not because its right

"there's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated"

we live in a democracy... a government where people can say what they think and have something done about it. but it doesnt work that way. we live in dictation but people are so dumb to see it. people celebrate uneducated unaware and uninformed people doing foolish things and think that its good.

"political scientists think 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"

how can we vote and choose the majority when the people voting are to stupid to understand the reasons for their decisions. majority rule is never going to work unless the people voting are intelligent and understand. somethimes its the single person with a brain that will have the better decision.

"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 be a symbol to culture the idiots are taking over"

not quite sure how to put that bit...
