Rem - Ignoreland lyrics

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, 1979

Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready

Heartless, and labeled. Super US 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.

The information nation took their clues from all the sound-bite 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

They amplified the autumn, 1979

Calculate the capital, up the republic my skinny ass

TV 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's 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 desecrated winter, 1979

Capital collateral. Brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,

Heartless, and labeled. Super US 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

I did not do the revolution

Thank you.
