Peter Buck - Ignoreland lyrics

[Verse 1] These ba*tards 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 [Chorus 1] They hypnotized the summer, nineteen seventy-nine Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready Heartless, and labeled, Super U.S. citizen, super achiever, mega ultra power dosing. Relax Defense, defense, defense, defense [Chorus 2] Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Ignoreland Yeah, yeah, yeah Ignoreland Yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] The information nation took their clues from all the sound-bite gluttons Nineteen eighty, 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, nineteen seventy-nine Calculate the capital, up the republic my skinny a** 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, f** you, man (f** them) [Chorus 2] [Bridge] 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? [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2]
