Standard (EADGBE)

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 paint

Now you've got yourself a brand new occupation

Every fleeting thought is a pearl

And beautiful people stampede through the doorway of

The funniest fucker of the world

They're here to help you

Satisfy your desire

There's a bright future for all you professional liars

Now 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 earthquakes

They emptied out all the asylums,

They emptied out all the goals

The "New Bruise" was the name of the dance craze

By "Jesus Cross and the Cruel Nails"

Followed up by "Tortouzring Little Beaver"

With their contraption of barbed wire

Between the fear and the fever lies

All the rejection they require

They'll be howling by midnight,

They'll be drooling by dawn

Skulls shrunk down to the size of their brains

Heads shaven and shorn

Now 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 earthquakes

Trapped in the house of the Perpetual Sucker

Where bitterness always ends so pityful

You always had to dress up your envy in

Some half-remembered philosophy

Now 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 courage

I guess that makes you a full time hypocrite

Or some kind of twisted dilletante

Funny though people don't usually get so ugly

'Til they think they know what they want

Scratch you own head stupid

Count up to three

Roll over on your back

Repeat after me

Don'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 earthquakes

Don't you know how to be dumb?

Don't you know how to be dumb?

Don't you know how to be dumb?

Don't you know how to be dumb?
