Ladies and Gentlemen... wecolme to Ignoreland

[Modem Butterfly]

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 hypnotised the summer, Nineteen seventy-nine.
Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,
Heartless, and labelled. Super U.S. citizen, super achiever,
Mega ultra power dosing. Relax.
Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland.


The information nation took their clues from all the sound-bite gluttons.
Nineteen eighty, 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, Nineteen seventy-nine.
Calculate the capital, up the republic my skinny ass.
T.V. 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 ‘m)
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, Nineteen seventy-nine.
Capital collateral. Brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,
Heartless, and labelled. Super U.S. 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.

2. Somtimes REM just really gets it right

Now where did I leave the lyrics for Exhuming McCarthy?

5. Side One of 'Document' is good, ironic music for the Moronation.

:yourock:

6. Document is great! The soundtrack to some of my best memories

Worst too, come to think of it.










I just realized we're both old enough to think of albums as having "sides". Tee-hee!

3. speaking of ignorance . . . Michael Stipe? Is he in REM?

I seem to think so. I have a friend at work (female, go figure) who's head over heels for him. She knows he's gay. She emails me his group's lyrics from time to time -- digs them just as much.

4. Yes.

Give 'em a listen Ms. Bertha, they've made some fine music over the past 20-odd years.
