- Seems We’ve Been Surrounded By Fools and Clowns
- Mission, making money, by dumbing us down
- They don’t care, how outrageous, the story they tell
- Just as long as it becomes contagious, followed by a book to sell
- Freedom of speech, the privileged right to engage us,
- killing our cranium’s resident
- transforming brain cells, into solitary confinement
- I overheard a Bible Bastard, thumping the other day
- Saying faggots were going to hell, because they’re Gay
- And God wants it that way, that they were born that way
- Sinners destined for hell, to scare us, to get right with God
- his story to tell, so DVDs, Books, he could sell,

- until he was outed by his gay lover, some story to tell
- you know what Religion is, more show biz
- Seems we’ve been surrounded by fools and clowns
- Mission, making money, by dumbing us down
- Went to school, to be made into a thinking fool
- Seems nobody knows how anything works, so lesson is theory
- That’s like teaching a baby to babble, shouldn’t we be teaching
- Them how to play scrabble, to learn meanings and principles
- Instead of theory, stressing them, with guessing games
- Do anybody know how to problem solve, or in whose name
- Racing to pass tests, an alphabet determines who’s best, really
- Then, with these strange looks, and dizzy discourse, these scholars
- Never have answers or solutions, just look silly,
- Are they mere weathermen, tracking storms in these institutions
- Chasing tenure, security, taking our money, to mentor fools of you and me
- If we’re educated, why can’t we make things right, problems, solve them
- Education, you know what it is, more Show Biz
- Seems we’ve been surrounded by fools and clowns
- Mission, making money, by dumbing us down
- You keep wishing for Jesus and the perfect politician
- To come down, rise up and do it for you
- You keep sitting waiting, for the right guy
- To tell you why, he’s told you another lie
- Wanting another to do your thinking, you wonder why
- Your pay check is steadily shrinking
- Politics, you know what it is, more show biz
- Seems we’ve been surrounded by fools and clowns
- Mission, making money, by dumbing us down
- Medicine doesn’t cure or heal anymore
- As fast as the doctor is in, he’s out the door
- Research, researching research for new medication
- That will be the next dollar making sensation
- You know what Healthcare is, more show biz
- Seems we’ve been surrounded by fools and clowns
- Mission, making money, by dumbing us down
- See those dogs chasing the ambulances
- I know hard it’s to tell, but they were once lawyers
- Set on winning with defense, more concerned now
- About covering an expense,
- even if it means working thirty hours a day
- they can do it, they’ll find a legal way
- crime may not, but these criminals get plenty of, pay
- you know what justice is, another form of, show biz
- Seems we’ve been surrounded by fools and clowns
- Mission, making money, by dumbing us down
- once you realize, that every spoken word,
- every printed syllable is a lie, you become the wise guy
- then you’ve turned into the bad guy
- when you learn God has no prerogative to have a will
- bequeathing to who, what, that every religious, scholarly
- medical, political performance are dollar-ly
- tricks meant to skew your perceptions, with deceptions
- so they can Burger King, The Bank of America power-play,
- Everything, Anything, but your way…R.D.Revilo
