This retarded nation
Hey, can I grab your attention?
May I distract you from your busy day?
I’d love to hear your opinion
An observation of society
Yeah, so take a look around you
It’s so common it’s hard not to see
Our hindered and complicated struggle
To be so unaware of life’s simplicity
And here’s what we’re trying to say
This retarded nation has got no coordination
This retarded nation has got no coordination
Pleased to meet you, how are you doing?
And where are you hailing from?
Tell me what you do for a living
In case I’m getting you wrong
Now, are you gay or straight, are you married?
And how many kids do you have?
And if you’re keeping up with the taxman
How the hell you doing that?
When they’re wasting everything they can
This retarded nation has got no coordination
This retarded nation has got no coordination
Cos it was P.C. in the bureaucracy
Then P.C. in the academy
Now it’s P.C. even on the streets
Iit’s a P.C. cultural lobotomy
Existing against your will to survive
And evolving out of time with nature’s design
Slaves to the illusion of what money can by
It’s a selfish lie; it’s just a selfish... lie
(Mama don't pay no taxes, Papa don't pay no bills)
This retarded nation has got no coordination
(Mama don't pay no taxes, Papa don't pay no bills)
This retarded nation has got no coordination
This retarded nation has got no coordination
This retarded nation has got no coordination
This retarded nation
