Well we worship at the shroud of Elvis And we're waiting for that money from Ed McMahon And we're drinking from the Perrier fountain of youth While we follow what the daily horoscopes saying Taking lethal doses of MTV Delving into pet psychiatry Trying to treat cancer with a fruit juice cure And waiting for the Beatles reunion tour 'Cuz it's a great big stupid world And we're feeling kinda queasy as it turns around Great big stupid world And we're never really sure if we're up or down We're on a dirt clod out in space Where it stops nobody knows If Jesus came back today They'd try to book him on the Oprah Winfrey show 'Cuz it's a great big stupid world Great big stupid world Well we're hot on the trail of Big Foot And we're wearing the crystals to feel the power We're hoping that the creatures from outer space Come to set us free in that final hour Trying to tell the future from the lumps on our heads Getting melanoma from our tanning beds Channeling Houdini with Shirley MacLaine And trying to figure out what the dolphins are saying Well it's a Great-Big-Stupid world Dumb dumb da dumb dumb baby it's a stupid world It's a great big stupid, great big stupid Great big stupid world Well we're studying the National Enquirer Is it true Sonny Bono is the Anti-Christ We debate if T.V. wrestling is really a sport While we're testing rock 'n' roll and it's effect on mice Bonding with our little computer screens Getting anorexic on our Lean Cuisines Turning plastic surgeons into millionaires So everybody finally gets to look like Cher It's a great big stupid world And we're feeling kind of queezy as it turns around Great big stupid world And we're never really sure if we're up or down It's a great... big... stupid world Dumb dumb da dumb dumb baby it's a stupid world
