Ignoreland Lyrics - Automatic For The People - Rem

These bastards 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 

They hypnotized the summer, 1979 

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. Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Ignoreland 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Ignoreland 

The information nation took their clues from all the soundbyte gluttons 

1980, 84, 88, 92, 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

They amplified the autumn, 1979 

Calculate the capital 

Up the republic, my skinny ass, T.V. 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, fuck you man Fuck 'em 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Ignoreland 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Ignoreland 

If they weren't there, we would have created them 

Maybe it is 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? 

They desecrate the winter, 1979 

Capital collateral 

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. Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Ignoreland 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Ignoreland 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Ignoreland 

Yeah, yeah, yeah
