Everything we do
Everything we think or say
Has been influenced
By eons of mistakemaking
In our philosophies and in our DNA
Is the tendency
To make a mess of everything we do
The Knuckleheads
Are knuckleheaded
They say in bed and
Stare at a machine all day
The Knuckleheads
Are double dreaded
They vote for people
Wo want to take our rights away
In the biosphere
There is tension all around
From the detritus
That we manufacture and discard
Every continent Rotting in a shallow grave
Our incompetence
Has robbed us of the will to
Save ourselves
The Knuckleheads
Are knuckleheaded
They say in bed and
Stare at a machine all day
The Knuckleheads
Are double dreaded
They vote for people
Wo want to take our rights away
Knuckleheaded people walking
Blithely in your neighborhood
The wisdom of the learned
Never seems to to them any good
Knuckleheaded people
Knuckleheaded philosophy
Don't you think the Knuckleheads
Are an awful lot like you and me?
Knuckleheads
Knuckleheads
Knuckleheads
Knuckleheads
Knuckleheaded people
With knuckleheaded views
Wearing knuckleheaded trousers
And knuckleheaded shoes
With their knuckleheaded children
At their knuckleheaded school
With the knuckleheaded teachers
Making knuckleheaded rules
If you think you're any different
You are deluded, my friend
For each and everyone of us ends up
Knuckleheaded in the end
The Knuckleheads
Are knuckleheaded
They say in bed and
Stare at a machine all day
The Knuckleheads
Are double dreaded
They vote for people
Wo want to take our rights away
Knuckleheaded people walking
Blithely in your neighborhood
The wisdom of the learned
Never seems to to them any good
Knuckleheaded people
Knuckleheaded philosophy
Don't you think the Knuckleheads
Are an awful lot like you and me?
The Knuckleheads
Are knuckleheaded
They say in bed and
Stare at a machine all day
The Knuckleheads
Are double dreaded
They vote for people
Wo want to take our rights away
