Lyrics

I might look brave but I’m terrified
I might seem smart but I’m stupefied
Explanations leave me mystified
About what they’ve done
To keep us Comfortably Dumb

We’ve been fed a version or maybe two
Heads become tails when you don’t follow clues
Soon all you feared has been done to you
See all they’ve done
To keep us Comfortably Dumb

They hope that we won’t stand
Accept suggestions as if command
Accept suggestions as if command
Questioning defined as sin
Critically enslaved within

Looking away it’s not less real
What we don’t give well they might just steal
What we don’t know just seals the deal
See all they’ve done
To keep us Comfortably Dumb

Keep us confused don’t know who to appease
Wrapped up and warm we won’t notice the squeeze
No reason to stand we look good on our knees
They won’t need guns
When we’re Comfortably Dumb

They hope that we won’t stand
Accept suggestions as if command
Questioning defined as sin
Critically enslaved within
Comfortably Dumb
