Some appropriate lyrics from Zappa song, "Dumb All Over"
Advertisements [?]
Whoever we are, Wherever we're from,
We shoulda noticed by now, Our behavior is dumb.
And if our chances expect to improve,
It's gonna take a lot more Than trying to remove
The other race
Or the other whatever
From the face
Of the planet altogether.

Nerds on the left, Nerds on the right
Religious fanatics On the air every night
Sayin' the bible Tells the story,
Makes the details Sound real gory
'bout what to do If the geeks over there
Don't believe in the book We got over here.

You can't run a country By a book of religion,
Not by a heap Or a lump or a smidgen
Of foolish rules, Of ancient date,
Designed to make You all feel great
While you fold, spindle and mutilate
Those unbelievers
From a neighboring state.

To arms! To arms! Hooray! that's great
Two legs ain't bad Unless there's a crate
They ship the parts to mama in For souvenirs:
two ears (get down!)
Not his, not hers, but what the hey?
The good book says:
It's gotta be that way
But their book says:
Revenge the crusades...
With whips 'n chains 'n hand grenades...
Two arms? two arms? Have another and another,
Our God says "it's all okay"
Our God says "this is the way!"

That's what they say
Every night....
Every day....
Hey, we can't really be dumb
If we're just following god's orders
Hey, let's get serious
God knows what he's doing
He wrote this book here
An' the book says:
He made us all to be just like him,
So...
If we're dumb...
Then God is dumb...
(an' maybe a little ugly on the side)
