I was hell-bent on destroying my powers of concentration While you were living like a saint And all the time the very one you trusted was Washing off somebody else's paintNow you've got yourself a brand new occupation Every fleeting thought is a pearl And beautiful people stampede to the doorway of the Funniest fucker in the worldThey're here to help you Satisfy your desires There's a bright future For all you professional liarsNow you know how to be dumb? Are you ready to take your place In the modern museum of mistakes?Don't you know how to be dumb? Like a building thrown up overnight In one of those reverse earthquakesThey emptied out all of the asylums They emptied out all the jails The 'New Bruise' was the name of a dance craze By Jesus Cross and the Cruel NailsFollowed up by 'Torturing Little Beaver' With their contraption of 'Barb wire' Between the fear and the fever lies All the rejection they requireThey'll be howling by midnight They'll be drooling by dawn Skulls shrunk down to the size of their brains Heads shaven and shornDon't you know how to be dumb? Are you ready to take your place In the modern museum of mistakes?Don't you know how to be dumb? Like a building thrown up overnight In one of those reversed earthquakesTrapped in the House of the Perpetual Succour where Bitterness always ends so pitifully You always had to dress up your envy in some Half remembered philosophyNow you're masquerading as pale powdered genius whose Every bad intention has been purged You could've walked out any time you wanted but Face it you didn't have the courageI guess that makes you a full time hypocrite Or some kind of twisted dilettante Funny though people don't usually get so ugly till they Think they know what they wantScratch your own head stupid Count up to three Roll over on your back Repeat after meDon't you know how to be dumb? Are you ready to take your place In the modern museum of mistakes?Don't you know how to be dumb? Like a building thrown up overnight In one of those reverse earthquakesOhh don't you know how to be dumb? Don't you know how to be dumb? Don't you know how to be dumb? Yes you know how to be dumb? Dumb, dumb, dumb, d-d-d-dumb Fine, fine
