paroles de chanson Dumb All Over - Frank Zappa

(Ay!)
Hotel room, hotel room (Ay!)

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
They call it the Earth which is a dumb kinda name
But they named it right 'cause we behave the same
We are dumb all over
Dumb all over, yes we are
Dumb all over, near and far
Dumb all over, black and white
People, we is not wrapped tight

Nurds on the left, nurds on the right
Religious fanatics on the air every night
Sayin' the Bible tells the story
And makes the detail 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 race without no feet
And pretty soon there won't be no street
For dummies to jog on or doggies to dog on
Religious fanatics can make it be all gone
I mean it won't blow up and disappear
It'll just look ugly for a thousand years

You can't run a country by a book of religion
Not by a heap or a lump or a smidgeon
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 and chains and hand grenades"
Two arms? Two arms? Have another and another
Our God says, "There ain't no other!"
Our God says, "It's all okay!"
Our God says, "This is the way!"
It says in the book, "Burn and destroy
And repent, and redeem, and revenge, and deploy
And rumble thee forth to the land
Of the unbelieving scum on the other side
'Cause they don't go for what's in the book
And that makes 'em bad
So verily we must choppeth them up
And stompeth them down
Or rent a nice French bomb
To poof them out of existence
While leaving their real estate just where we need it
To use again for temples in which to praise our God
'Cause he can really take care of business

And when his humble TV servant with humble white hair
And humble glasses and a nice brown suit
And maybe a blonde wife who takes phone calls
Tells us our God says it's okay to do this stuff
Then we gotta do it
'Cause if we don't do it, we ain't going up to heaven
Depending on which book you're using at the time, can't use theirs
It don't work, it's all lies, gotta use mine
Ain't that right? That's what they say
Every night, every day
Hey, we can't really be dumb
If we're just following God's orders
Let's get serious, God knows what he's doing
He wrote this book here and the book says
He made us all to be just like Him
So if we're dumb then God is dumb
And maybe even a little ugly on the side

Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
