Dumbing Down from Canaries by The Hoolivans

Dumbing Down

I don’t know how to even begin
I’ve eaten up my trail of crumbs
I wandered into a maze without string
Now I’m back again
Back where I started
I sense a trap round every turn
I fear the Minator breath on my neck
I don’t have the intelligence I had
Not of a mouse
Not of a rat

Don’t want you to feel like I don’t care
It’s just tonight I feel like dumbing down
In this world of idiots we live in
A stupid man like me’s a genius
Turn off the light, turn off the light baby
Maybe put a book mark in that magazine
Turn off the light, turn off the light baby
Don’t you feel like dumbing down?

Lying on the launch pad full of corn snacks
I’m strapped to the seat, there’s no going back
Blasted out into space in a suit
That’s not my size
And not my colour
Memories of a simpler life
As the gall hits the back of my throat
Don’t have the cohunes I had
Not of a mouse
Not of a rat

Don’t want you to feel like I don’t care...
