R.E.M. – 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 hypnotized 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, eighty four, eighty eight, ninety two 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
