stop the song
now don't you fill your pretty little head
with numbers and quotes, statistics and facts
we can help you fill in the cracks
if you ever ever need to know any of that
and don't you even think of attending that memory gym
it's a rip and a half
and you can never get your money back!
american memories
new to the list of endangered species
if you're afflicted, we got you covered
for this long term disease
american memories
why would you want to be one of those people
who remember everything that we say and do?
but if that's the path you choose then uh-oh
have we got a slot for you
and if you ever think of attending that memory gym
well, they'll laugh you in two
and believe me we will see that they do
we're the people in power and we know what's best for you
so don't worry so much, just relax
take your time, play some trivial pursuit
ignoring history, it's easy and fun, and patriotic too!
it's not that important, hey look at that car!
just remember, don't worry, be, uh, uh,..
american memories
i pledge a legion to the flack
of the unitable shades of america
and to the repugnance for which it transcends
one explanation, undersold, indigestable
with killer bees and adjustments for all
