Museum of Stupidity
Museum of Stupidity: A Satirical Anthem Against Societal Absurdities
Lyrics
One day there'll be a museum of stupidity
Anticipating a future where societal foolishness is memorialized.
Where we can hang ourselves and throw away the key
Suggesting a desire to take responsibility for collective mistakes.
Along with the attitudes of the pmrc
Criticizing the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) and its perspectives.
And this bullshit drug war full of hypocrisy
Highlighting the perceived hypocrisy in the war on drugs.
The banning of 2 live crew
Critiquing the censorship of 2 Live Crew, a controversial rap group.
They'll probably put 2 live crew in there, too
Ironically suggesting that 2 Live Crew might be featured in the museum.
A museum of stupidity, oh yeah
Reiterating the concept of a museum dedicated to human foolishness.
One day there'll be a museum of stupidity
Repeating the anticipation of a future museum of stupidity.
We'll fill it up with exhibits of idiocy
Proposing the inclusion of exhibits representing human idiocy.
We'll throw in religion and what it really means
Criticizing the negative aspects of religion and its interpretation.
A way to hammer nails through the back of your brains
Metaphorically describing religion as a harmful influence on the mind.
The japanese trawlermen
Criticizing Japanese trawlermen for their environmental impact.
Who kill everything that moves and call it zen
Sarcastically linking the destructive actions of trawlermen to Zen philosophy.
Museum of stupidity, oh yeah
Reiterating the concept of a museum of stupidity, emphasizing it.
Look at the walls of the museum of stupidity
Directing attention to the exhibits within the museum.
You're bound to find there every advert on american tv
Criticizing the content of American TV advertisements.
And every page of the british gutter press
Criticizing the sensationalism of the British gutter press.
We got it for nothing, it was going for less
Suggesting that such content is of low value or easily attainable.
And we'll hang it from roof to floor
Describing the extensive coverage of stupidity within the museum.
And throw away the key after locking the door
Symbolically sealing off the museum, locking away the foolishness.
The museum of stupidity
Reiterating the concept and name of the museum.
The museum of stupidity
Repeating the name of the museum for emphasis.
The museum of stupidity, oh yeah
Final emphasis on the existence of the museum.
Oh yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement.
