This song is centered on the theme "ignorance is bliss". There are many popular media depictions of such sentiments including an episode of House M.D. where an extremely intelligent man wants to be stupid because dealing with the populus of lesser intelect beings is so frustrating. Devo postulates that instead they are normal men and the populus is in fact certifiably severely mentally handicapped with an IQ score under 40. Wishing they could be blissfully ignorant would make living in this world ("Where i'm from the dumbber the better") far less stressfull.
