Lyrics Idiots Are Taking Over - NOFX

It's not the right time to be sober
Now the idiots have taken over
Spreading like a social cancer
Is there an answer?

MENSA membership conceding
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 quieted, ostracized, what a bummer
The world keeps getting dumber
Insensitivity is standard
And faith is being fancied over reason

Darwin's rollin over in his coffin
The fittest are surviving much less often
Now everything seems to be reversing
And it's worsening
Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
Now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule
And I'm 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
There's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
Political scientists get 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

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 via simpleton culture
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over
They're taking over!
