Jim Johnston: Winning Impaired

Words and Music: Jim Johnston
Solo: Jim Brammer

Excuse me, Miz and Mister Cool, I didn't mean to stumble on my words, and break your stupid rule,
Of never saying what you mean, it's never black or white, it's always gray, or something in-between.
You just want to dumb me down, and every dolt who's in this town.
Wanna tell me right and wrong, but I can only hold my tongue so long.

And if they time it right, brainwash you overnight for sure.
Crimes against humanity, saying what is thought to be impure.
Conform and you'll be spared, there are no losers, just the winning impaired.

Humpty Dumpty took a fall, they're doing all they can to blame it on the guy who built the wall,
And when they consider sin, they cue it up and replay it over and over again.
I don't know why it gets me down, when you sell ignorance by the pound,
The mother of the sacred cow, will take you on right here and now.

And if they time it right, brainwash you overnight for sure.
Crimes against humanity, saying what is thought to be impure.
Conform and you'll be spared, there are no losers, just the winning impaired.

It's monkey see and monkey do, I'll bite off more than you can chew
The perfect world that's in my head will come to be or we'll be dead,
Its not for you to think about it's garbage in and garbage out,
Polluted air and poinsoned food, I'm just follically challenged dude!
Janitors called engineers no cigarrettes to soothe your fears,
All predators must be set free, they help keep you in line you see.
So love all creatures as they are- so long as they don't own a car,
I found my calling to prevent you dinking with environmental factors you don't understand
Without my guidance steal your land
So die a lot and live a little
Either way I'm in the middle,
Get religion, it gets you.
Now you're the wall and I'm the screw the only way you will be free
is leave the thinking up to me,
If I make up the rules you know
I'll sanitize this crazy show,
You're only free to do what's right?
Who made that up? It's outta sight!
A tool to help control the masses
Get computers you'll need glasses,
Might have caught you unaware
But I know who's winning impaired - You!

And if they time it right, brainwash you overnight for sure.
