You've got a personality 
We'll throw you in the sea and watch you drown 
Dumb it down 
Your concentration span's too long 
It's longer than this song, that's not allowed 
Dumb it down 
You don't need books to know what's what 
We'll pile them up and burn them to the ground 
Dumb it down 
And if you say that we're corrupt 
We'll round you up and run you out of town 
Dumb it down 

Down and down and down it goes
Where it stops nobody knows 
And not a lot of people seem to care 
Well it's so crazy, it's so great 
We can all communicate 
But no one's saying anything out there
Is there anybody out there? 

Intelligence is dangerous 
A virus of the brain you pass around 
Dumb it down 
We'll vaccinate each boy and girl 
Lobotomise the world through sight and sound
Dumb it down 
No one can tell you what to think 
And if you think that's true then you're a clown 
Dumb it down
'Cause freedom's wasted on the free 
You just don't see the beauty all around 
Dumb it down 

Down and down and down we slide 
It's too tricky to decide 
Between channels one and sixty-three
'Cause everything is mindless fluff 
Like this world's not dumb enough 
Does anybody feel the same as me? 
Is there anybody listening?
