Fifteen: Colorado

Heard the news from Colorado,
About a couple of kids,
Who went to school and tried to kill everyone.
They said they did it just for kicks.
I saw the president on the T.V.
He said we really gotta do something about this.
He said we gotta end this culture of violence,
And he went on to explain how we need to starve,
All the Serbian kids.

Maybe it's too many burgers,
Maybe it's too much beer.
Maybe it's in the water,
Maybe it's in the fear.
Maybe it's too much pollution,
Maybe we are just dumb.
But it really seems to me that...
Americans are stupid.
We'll fall for anything and everything.
The only thing worse than a stupid American,
Is someone who actually gets it,
And decides to do nothin'.

Saw the news from Havannah,
An economic embargo...
It started 39 years ago,
They said it would get rid of Fidel Castro.
I saw Jesse Helms on the T.V.
He said it just needs more time.
If we deny the people of Cuba food and medicine,
Then everything will work out just fine.

Maybe it's too many burgers,
Maybe it's too much beer.
Maybe it's in the water,
Maybe it's in the fear.
Maybe it's too much pollution,
Maybe we are just dumb...
But it really seems to me that...
Americans are stupid.
We'll fall for anything and everything.
The only thing worse than a stupid American
Is someone who actually gets it...
And decides to do nothin'.

We believe,
That if we have beliefs,
Then we don't gotta do nothing.
We believe,
That it we have beliefs,
Somehow they will magically change everything.
We believe,
That if we have beliefs,
Someday everyone will realize that they were wrong.
We believe,
That if we have beliefs,
We don't gotta do nothin', nothin', nothin'.
