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 TV
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 TV
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 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'

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'
