Got 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 somethin about this

He said we gotta end this culture of violence

And he went on to explain why we need to

Drop bombs on 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

Of the 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 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 nothin'

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'
