Ignoreland - R.E.M.
These bastards stole their power
From the victims of
the Us v Them years
Wrecking all things
virtuous and true
The undermining
social democratic
downhill slide into abysmal
Lost lamb off the precipice into
the trickle down runoff pool
They hypnotized the summer
ninteen-seventy-nine
Marched into the capital
brooding duplicitous
Wicked and able media-ready
Heartless and labeled
Super US citizen super achiever
Mega ultra power dosing relax
Defense defense defense defense
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Ignoreland
Yeah yeah yeah
Ignoreland
Yeah yeah yeah
The information nation took
their clues from all
the sound-bite gluttons
1980 eighty four eighty eight
ninety two too too
How to be what you can be
Jump jam junking your energies
How to walk in dignity
with throw up on your shoes
They amplified the autumn
ninteen-seventy-nine
Calculate the capital
Up the republic my skinny ass
TV tells a million lies
The paper's terrified to report
Anything that isn't handed
on a presidential spoon
I'm just profoundly
frustrated by all this
So fuck you man fuck 'em
Yeah yeah yeah
Ignoreland
Yeah yeah yeah
Ignoreland
If they weren't there
we would have created them
Maybe it's true
But I'm resentful all the same
Someone's got to take the blame
I know that this is vitriol
No solution spleen-venting
But I feel better having screamed
Don't you
They desecrated winter
ninteen-seventy-nine
Capital collateral
Brooding duplicitous
wicked and able media-ready
Heartless and labeled
Super US citizen super achiever
Mega ultra power dosing relax
Defense defense defense defense
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Ignoreland
Yeah yeah yeah
Ignoreland
Yeah yeah yeah
Ignoreland
Yeah yeah yeah
I did not do the revolution
Thank you
