In music there’s education, in music there’s communication
I stare in ignorance and dismay, what do they see that I can’t see?
What is it they hear that I can’t hear, they seem to be having so much fun
Sometimes I wish I did not think too much and maybe more like them
Bring it all down, down, down to the bottom
Bring it all down, down, down to the gutter
Down here where no talent is necessary
Down here where NOTHING is necessary
Way down here where they can all agree
In reading there’s emancipation, learning the new in appreciation
How come I ain’t learning nothing? I’ve seen this dude before
He said the same thing yesterday and of course the day before
Crime on the rise, otherwise all is fine and the weatherman’s funny
In admitting there’s hope, in denial there’s self-preservation
Hundreds of millions can’t be wrong, I must not be from here
They all can reach it if it’s way down low, but at least they can smile
Are they right or am I wrong, perhaps on this earth I simply don’t belong
