I'm dumbing down the world
Yes, I'm dumbing down the world
And my head is held high
And the glint in my eye
And my arrogance rumbles before me

I'm dumbing down the world
Dumbing down the world
I'm dumbing down the world
Dumbing down the world
And my thoughts are banal
Like a stagnant canal
And my sycophants shamble behind me

I'm dumbing down the world
Dumbing down the world
I'm dumbing down the world
Dumbing down the world
And my hour is come around, is come around !
Yes my hour is come around, it's come around...

Look around !
I'm dumbing down the world
Dumbing down the world
And my works are designed
To suck blood from your mind
For your energy feeds and sustains me

I'm dumbing down the world
Dumbing down the world
I'm dumbing down the world
I'm dumbing down the world
I'm dumbing down the world and I love it !
