Constantly Dumb
Edited on Wed Jul-19-06 06:00 PM by SalmonChantedEvening
Constantly Dumb (To the tune of Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd)


Shallow, shallow, shallow, there ain’t anybody in there
You’re just a mental pygmy, yes the emperor unclothed
Dumb it down, c’mon George you know how
Just keep on talkin’ plain, and repeating the refrain

Egads, egads, egads, a new disinformation burst
Mustn’t state the facts, for reality’s a curse

I get migranes when you are speaking
A constant gag on the bile arising
As the bogus cowboy façade fades
Your words prove that you don’t know what you’re saying
Could I and the world, ask you a favor?
Could you just speak in thought balloons?
Now you’re on my TV once again
My head explodes with every episode, you presidential sham
Prince Stumblebumb, constantly dumb

OK, OK, OK, who’s using Jedi mind tricks
My brain it goes AHHHHHHHH, but his base laps up this shtick
Throw my hands up, I don’t believe these freakin’ fools
Seems they’re almost wanting to be snowed, by Chimpy and his show

I get migranes when you are speaking
A constant gag on the bile arising
As the bogus cowboy façade fades
Your words prove that you don’t know what you’re saying
While you and your chorus of bleating simps
Mouth sermonettes off for the choir
The turning world it is ablaze, your lack of action does amaze us all
ManChild be gone, your dreams are done
Prince Stumblebumb, constantly dumb

7. don't know whether to be offended or just nod affirmitvely...
Pink Floyd's music has been a constant companion to me throughout life...a real favorite bordering on irrational obsession. Mentioning * in the same breath as Floyd just is kind of jarring....yet your words are compelling - I guess in that sense, you do Gilmour, Waters and the boys proud with your prose.....good job.

10. The one reading Froyd
:D

They've been one of my favorite bands for 30 years now. There was nothing but pride in using one of their songs to belittle the monkey.
