The Madcap

Land of the Morons

Long ago, they were strangers
From other lands, endless wars
Now they walk among us
Arm in arm, now friends
We learned from one another
Built a sophisticated world
Based on truth and science
And vast discovery

Now, our land wants to burn it down
Destroy it all, obliterate
Burn the books
Burn us all to the ground
Wipe out discovery
Who cares about facts?
Science? No! Just mighty men
Who act on instincts, strong

--

After all is said and done
And humans are wiped from the earth
All there will be are idiot apes
In human costume, staring at phones
No more need for discovery
Back to the Dark Ages
Superstition and early death

In the Land of the Morons
