The Eighty​-​Five

lyrics

85% of you are idiots.
85% of you are fools.
Wielding data with no application.
What’s the point of even sending you to school?
85% of you are idiots.
85% of you brain-dead.
Blindly consuming anything you can,
And you wonder why you never get ahead.

The truth is rarely pretty.
The truth works with both hands.
Most of you exist
To be pounded to sand.
You may not like the story.
You may reject the battle.
But your condescension and sarcasm
Is nothing but a death-rattle.

85% of you are idiots.
85% of you are liars.
Mired deep in your own self-delusion.
Ignoring everything else that transpires.
85% of you are idiots.
85% of you deceived.
Not all fact comes packaged in twelve-point font.
Do you know the meaning of what you believe?

You’re living in the dark.
Will the sun ever rise?
If it ever does
It may burn out your eyes.
You may not like the story.
You may reject the battle.
But I really don’t give a shit about
The thoughts and feelings of cattle.

I don’t care what you think.
Just think.
