you must be stupid, to think we'd fall, fall for all of this
we're not so dumb, dumb enough, dumb enough to work for you
we don't believe the lies you feed us, dumbed down by you
never enough hours, hours in the day, just keep on pushing it through
your friends make their money, take it and run, leaving us to pay
that'll be your payoff, that'll be the end, just wait for the day
(break)
none of us matter, in your master plan, so dumb it down again
keep on playing, while we go hungry, your failure's just a mistake away
politicians line up, line up to use you, while you use them
bankers line their pockets, no questions, no headaches, no consequences for them
another school is closing, another child can't read, pats on the back for you
roads and bridges failing, power lines collapsing, kudos on a job well done
prisons overflowing, cops and firemen not paid, how do you spin this
isn't it enough, isn't it more, more than anyone can bear
here we go again, see the pretty people, laughing in their cars
look at all the shiny toys, look at all the ripped up boys, strutting with their ***
dumb it down some more, keep the sparkles coming, make the public forget their ails
some of us are watching, some of us are waiting, you'll rue the day
(break)
buoyed by the markets, taken to new heights, while everyone else goes down
3D seems a good deal, something to distract the crowd, lots of pretty colours to see
keep them entertained, keep them in the side show, that'll give you time to plan
plan to make your break, plan to get away, you'd better get it right first time
nothing to protect you, nothing to disguise you, now we know your game
we'll be looking for you, we know who you are, it's just a matter of time
not so many ignorant, gullible and easily led, they'll wake up like we did,
then you'll pay the piper, he comes for us all, till then keep it all dumbed down
that sounds fair and balanced, that sounds like a good deal, keep on believing that
come the day we switch off, you'll regret you kept us, kept us all dumbed down
kept us all dumbed down kept us all dumbed down
kept us all dumbed down kept us all dumbed down
