Lyrics
0:09You've got a personality
0:14We'll throw you in the sea and watch you drown
0:22Dumb it down
0:28Your concentration span's too long
0:32It's longer than this song that's not allowed
0:40Dumb it down
0:47You don't need books to know what's what
0:51We'll pile them up and burn them to the ground
0:59Dumb it down
1:05And if you say that we're corrupt
1:09We'll round you up and run you out of town
1:17Dumb it down
1:24Down and down and down it goes
1:29Where it stops nobody knows
1:32And not a lot of people seem to care
1:41Well it's so crazy it's so great
1:45We can all communicate
1:49But no one's saying anything out there
1:56Is there anybody out there
2:05Intelligence is dangerous
2:09A virus of the brain you pass around
2:17Dumb it down
2:24We'll vaccinate each boy and girl
2:28Lobotomise the world through sight and sound
2:36Dumb it down
2:42No one can tell you what to think
2:47And if you think that's true then you're a clown
2:54Dumb it down
3:01'Cause freedom's wasted on the free
3:05You just don't see the beauty all around
3:12Dumb it down
3:20Down and down and down we slide
3:24It's too tricky to decide
3:28Between channels one and sixty three
3:36'Cause everything is mindless fluff
3:41Like this world's not dumb enough
3:44Does anybody feel the same as me
3:51Is there anybody listening
You've got a personality We'll throw you in the sea and watch you drown Dumb it down Your concentration span's too long It's longer than this song that's not allowed Dumb it down You don't need books to know what's what We'll pile them up and burn them to the ground Dumb it down And if you say that we're corrupt We'll round you up and run you out of town Dumb it down Down and down and down it goes Where it stops nobody knows And not a lot of people seem to care Well it's so crazy it's so great We can all communicate But no one's saying anything out there Is there anybody out there Intelligence is dangerous A virus of the brain you pass around Dumb it down We'll vaccinate each boy and girl Lobotomise the world through sight and sound Dumb it down No one can tell you what to think And if you think that's true then you're a clown Dumb it down 'Cause freedom's wasted on the free You just don't see the beauty all around Dumb it down Down and down and down we slide It's too tricky to decide Between channels one and sixty three 'Cause everything is mindless fluff Like this world's not dumb enough Does anybody feel the same as me Is there anybody listening
