Intelligence Is a Plague
Intellect's Downfall: A Satirical Symphony
Lyrics
Intelligence is a plague
Intelligence is considered a negative force or influence.
Shunned, patronized and quarantined
Intelligence is avoided, condescended to, and isolated.
Apathy has its reins
Apathy is in control, leading to indifference.
Do you even care?
A question about the listener's level of concern or awareness.
Complacency, self-righteous merit badge
Contentment with self-righteousness is like a badge of honor.
And you wear it proud young son
The listener proudly displays this self-righteous attitude.
America versus Netflix fixation
Contrast between societal issues and a fixation on trivial entertainment.
Are you still watching?
A rhetorical question about continuous engagement with distractions.
I think therefore I speak
Connecting thought and speech, emphasizing the importance of expressing oneself.
Defend your motto with an empty sheath
Encouragement to defend a motto or belief, but it's hollow or insincere.
Trade in your logic for Breitbart
Suggesting a shift from rational thinking to biased news sources.
Channels immersed in the soundbite
Media channels dominated by short, attention-grabbing statements.
Nielsen boxes running so high
Reference to TV ratings, indicating widespread consumption of sensational content.
Are you still watching the shit show?
Questioning continued interest in a chaotic spectacle.
Indulge and just let go
Advocating indulgence and detachment in the face of chaos.
Cause it's all just a comedy
Life is portrayed as a comedy, suggesting its absurdity.
This is a fact
Asserting a statement as a truth about life's nature.
You did what you want with it
Confirmation that individuals act as they please with the truth.
This is a fact
Reiteration of individuals not showcasing knowledge due to its indisputable nature.
No they don't flaunt cause it's science, it's proof, indisputable knowledge
Emphasizing the solidity of scientific knowledge contrasted with misguided actions.
It's solid ground
Despite knowledge, decisions are made on unstable foundations.
Yet you build upon sand
Continuing the theme of irrational actions despite a solid basis.
I think therefore I speak
Reiteration of the connection between thought and speech.
Defend your motto with an empty sheath
Encouraging defense of beliefs with empty arguments.
Trade in your logic for Breitbart
Reiteration of the shift from logical thinking to biased sources.
Channels immersed in the soundbite
Repetition of media channels immersed in attention-grabbing fragments.
Nielsen boxes running so high
Reference to high TV ratings, symbolizing widespread consumption of sensational content.
Are you still watching the shit show?
Rhetorical question about continued interest in chaos.
Indulge and just let go
Encouragement to indulge and detach from chaotic situations.
Cause it's all just a comedy
Restating life as a comedy, reinforcing its absurd nature.
Voluntarily deaf and blind
Willful ignorance and blindness to the world's issues.
Your head in the sand
Metaphor for avoiding reality and burying one's head in the sand.
While the world implodes around you
A world in crisis while the individual remains oblivious.
Step into the scandal line
Encouraging conformity to societal norms despite the impending chaos.
Be sheep in the plan
Metaphor for blindly following societal expectations during turmoil.
While the world implodes around you
Reiteration of societal collapse while individuals conform without awareness.
Vanity and impulse, songs of fools
Reference to superficiality and impulsive behavior, deemed foolish.
Trade in your logic for Breitbart
Repetition of the shift from logical thinking to biased sources.
Channels immersed in the soundbite
Continued emphasis on media channels dominated by sensational content.

It's a comedy
Emphasizing life's comedic nature and its detrimental effects.
And it's killing you, killing me
Expressing the harm
