Crazed are these days. <br />And everybody prays they'll go away. <br />But when they came and visited, <br />Few among them resisted. <br /> <br />Crazed are these days. <br />And everybody prays they'll go away. <br />But when they came and visited, <br />Few among them resisted. <br /> <br />And sitting idle while they arrived, <br />Were people in denial. <br />Criticizing those who said... <br />'Be prepared for the days ahead. <br />Ignore the facts! <br />But try to get them off your back. <br />Ignore the facts! <br />And you'll lay awake in bed instead.' <br /> <br />Deluded are the people... <br />Choosing to be fooled. <br /> <br />Crazed are these days. <br />And everybody prays they'll go away. <br />But when they came and visited, <br />Few among them resisted. <br /> <br />Crazed are these days. <br />That everybody prays will go away, <br />With ignoring of facts. <br />Trying to get them off their backs fast. <br /> <br />Deluded are the people... <br />Choosing to be fooled. <br />With a wish, <br />To be fools. <br /> <br />Dumbed-down. <br />Dumbee doo dumbee doo bee doo. <br />Dumbed-down. <br />Dumbee doo dumbee doo bee doo. <br />Dumbed-down. <br />Dumbee doo dumbee doo bee doo. <br />Dumbed-down... <br />Dumbee doo down bee doo bee doo. <br />Come softly, <br />Fleeced sheep. <br />Stay sleeping, <br />And weep.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
