We're living in a 21st century world
With 17th century thoughts
Soon we will have to face the human race
As it slowly decays and rots
There's maggots clogging our ideals
And our morals have been shot to the ground
The children are running around in haze
Of smoke rings and they'll never be found

Our education (It's dead)
The revolution (it's dead)
The whole nation (it's dead)
And we're breaking out of our homes

The thinker (It's dead)
The artist (It's dead)
The words which we wield and tinker with
are nothing but dead
Because minds of mankind have been fucked to the bone

Now there are billions of people on this Earth
And a lot of 'em starving and poor
You only got a Washington left in your wallet
And you use it on a donut at the store
But there's a man outside the entrance
With a jingly-jangly can
Waiting for pedestrians to drop something in
For Libya or Haiti or Japan

The idea of caring (It's dead)
Responsibility (It's dead)
Weight control (It's dead)
It's the saddest world that I've ever known

Protection (it's dead)
The right to free speech (It's dead)
Sanity in politics is dead and its revival's out of our reach
Because minds of mankind have been fucked to the bone

I read a newspaper in the morning
Seeing people lying dead in the streets
Struggling and holding on to all that they have
Truly trying to make ends meet
But 50,000 miles away from there
There's lucky Lotto winning putz
Who buys a new car and a new house and all the porn that he can afford
And when he dies the stench of greed stays on his gloves

Unity (it's dead)
Trust (It's dead)
Evolution (it's dead)
We're getting dumber just as fast as time goes
The world (it's dead)
Because minds of mankind have been fucked to the bone
