[Gb] [Db] [Eb] [Db] [Eb] Why?
[Db] Is that all you?
[Eb] [Db] [Eb]
[Db] YAYAYAYAYAAAAAY
Whoever we [Eb] are, wherever we're from, we should have [Fm] noticed by now our [B] behavior is dumb.
[Db] [Eb] Our [Db] chances to explode are just going to [Eb] take a lot [Dbm] more than trying to [Gb] wake the [Eb] other race [Db] or the other whatever [Eb] from a piece of the [Fm] planet to fall together.
They call it the Earth, which is a [Eb] dumb kind of [Db] thing.
But it may be right for you to behave the same.
You are dumb all over.
Dumb all over.
Yes, [Eb] we are.
[Db] Dumb all over.
[Em] We are [Eb]
[Ab] dumber.
Dumb all over.
[Eb] [Db] People, [Fm] he's not a real guy.
[Db] [Eb] [Db] He's not a real guy.
He's a little guy.
He's got a [Gb] light, religious fanatics on the [Eb] air every night
saying the [F] bible tells the story.
Makes the details sound real gory
about what to do.
[Db] He geeks up there, [F] don't believe in the book
[Db] he got over here.
He's a little guy.
He can't [Eb] run the race [Db] without a [C] [Db] race.
A little more sweet for dummies to jog on
and doggies to dog on.
[Eb] Religious [Db] fanatics
can make it all go on.
I mean, they won't grow up.
They'll disappear.
[B] It'll just look ugly [Db] for a thousand [F] years.
[Eb] [Db] [Fm]
[Db] You can't run a country [Eb] by a book of religion.
[Db] You're not buying for a lump [Eb] or a smidge
[Db] of foolish rules.
[Eb] Ancient [Db] date designed to make you
[Eb] awe of your great [Db] white foes.
People [Eb] of noodle age.
Those [Db] unbothered girls from [Eb] the neighboring states.
[A] [Bb] [Eb] [Db] Two arms.
Two [Eb] arms.
[Db] Two [Fm] legs ain't bad unless there's a crate
they [Eb] ship the parts to [Db] mama in.
Or [Eb] [Db] souvenirs.
Two years.
Get [F] down!
That is [Db] not hers, but what [Eb] they
The [Db] good book says
it's gotta [Eb] be that way.
[Db] But their book [G] says, not revenge,
[Db] but [Eb] crusades.
[Db] With whips and chains [Eb] and hand grenades.
[Db] Two [Eb] arms.
Two [Db] arms.
[Cm] [F] Our God says, bring no other.
Our God says, it's all okay.
[N] Our God says,
this is the way it says in the book.
Burn and destroy.
[Db] [Eb] [Gb] I repent of reading the
Revenge, [C] [Db]
[Eb] [Db] cause they [E] don't go for [Db] what's in the book
and that [Bb] makes them bad.
[Db] [Eb] So verily we must
[Db] chop up [Fm] their love
and stomp up them down.
For [Db] with their [Eb] [Db] [Eb] [Db]
existence,
while we be there,
[Gm] we must stay just [Db] where we need it.
To use again,
for temples in [Eb] which to [Ab] praise [Dbm] our God.
[Eb] Cause [Db] he can really [G] take care of
[Eb] business.
[Db] [C] [G] And when [Db] it's not
for [Eb] TV, sir, or pumper white [Ab] hair
and pumper glasses and a nice
[F] brown [Ab] suit, [N] and maybe a
blonde wife who takes phone calls
tells us how the God says it's okay
to do this stuff and we gotta do it.
Cause if we don't do it, we ain't
glad of the heaven.
Depending on which book you're using,
time can use theirs.
It's a work.
It's a lie.
It's gotta use mine.
But right, that's what they say every night,
every day.
And we can't
really [Db] be dumb and we're just following
God's orders.
Let's [Gm] get
serious.
God knows [Fm] what he's doing.
He wrote [Eb] this book [Abm] here.
And the book [Bb] says he made us
[Db] all to be just [Eb] like [Db] him.
So if [Eb] we're dumb,
then [Gb] God is dumb.
And maybe even a little ugly
on the [Cm] side.
[Fm] [Eb] [Db] Just a little [F]
[Db] ugly on the [Eb] side.
[Dbm] Dumb all over.
[Fm]
[Db] Little ugly on the side.
[Eb] [Gb] Dumb all over.
