Easy answers, small world

When you dum-a-dum down, dum-a-dum down the culture
Dumb and Dumber don’t feel so dumb
When you dum-a-dum down, dum-a-dum down the culture
the educated hold their tongue
The trees are coral here
The jellyfish are clouds above us
But the same old answers somehow seem the right ones
That no one questions, no one questions

Oh, dear! As we stumble and tumble and fumble and mumble and crumble down
One thing is missing: we’re not humble
Oh no, we’re not that thing, no longer
Oh no, we’re not that thing
What we once called progression has now become oppression to be avoided
And my disappearing hat, the one I use in my magic act
It becomes me, don’t you agree?

When you dum-a-dum down, dum-a-dum down the culture
Dumb and Dumber don’t feel so dumb
When you dum-a-dum down, dum-a-dum down the culture
The educated hold their tongue
No need for us to prep, we’re marching all in step to our own Dummer
As we dum-a-dum down, dum-a-dum down like vultures
Pick clean the carcass of the dead

Oh dear! As we stumble and tumble and fumble and mumble and crumble down
One thing is missing: We’re not humble
Oh no, we’re not that thing, no longer
Oh no, we’re not that thing
Has it always been this way?
Must riches lead to rags and windbags?
On this solo flight, no cell phone in sight
It’s just me here
Easy answers, small world

Easy answers, I have the answers, small world, I have no doubt
Easy answers, I have the answers, small world, I have no doubt
Easy answers, I have the answers, small world, I have no doubt
Easy answers, I have the answers, small world, I have no doubt
