Ignoreland

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 hypnotised the summer, Nineteen seventy-nine. 
Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready, 
Heartless, and labelled. 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 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 ass. 
T.V. tells a million lies. The paper
