Lorem Ipsum Lyrics

I JUST HAD A THOUGHT AND SO I THOUGHT I'D TELL YOU ALL
NO NEED FOR PEN AND PAPER, I'LL JUST THROW IT ON THE WALL
OPINIONS BASED IN EVIDENCE ARE SO PASSÉ
CONTROVERSY AND OUTRAGE IS WHAT REALLY PAYS

THERE ONCE WAS A TIME WHEN KNOWLEDGE MEANT POWER
NOW IT SEEMS TO ME IT MEANS NOTHING AT ALL
WE LIVE IN A TIME WHERE THE EXPERT WITHERS AND COWERS
AND THE IGNORANT THRIVE AND RISE TO STAND TALL

MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF IMPROVEMENT AND PROGRESS
SEEMINGLY STALLED BY INTERNET ACCESS
GONE FROM THE WORKS OF NEWTON AND ARISTOTLE
TO THE WORLD OF WEST COMMA K ET AL.

ALL I SEE AROUND ME
ALL I SEE IS POINTLESS ACTIVITY
LOREM IPSUM

ALL I HEAR AROUND ME
ALL I HEAR, VERBAL CACOPHONY
LOREM IPSUM

I SEE IT ON THE SCREENS
I HEAR IT ON THE AIR
I READ IT IN THE MAGAZINES
I FEEL IT SUFFOCATING ME
SUFFOCATING ME

ATTENTION SOUGHT THROUGH AN ARMS RACE OF OUTRAGE
PAVES THE WAY TO INTELLECTUAL DECAY
WHILE REASON, BALANCE, AND NUANCE
ARE SMEARED BY THE CRAZE
