Dumb it down for me
Brood on the enemy
Inoculation and disease
The gods are so displeased
Our sins, our disbelief
Bring down the plagues on you and me
A long goodbye
Of empire in decline
The great divides
And the big lie
When you're struck blind
At the summit of your prime
And left behind
You'll know why
Lost and found conceits
No freedom isn't free
Old distempers, new vaccines
Pay on time, so keen
To keep your cages clean
Where would you go if you could leave?
The long goodbye
Of empire in decline
The plastic prize
And the big lie
When you're struck blind
At the summit of your prime
And left behind
You'll know why
Dumb it down for me
