[Verse 1]
Intelligent people
Have had their say
It's time for the foolish
To show the way
[Refrain]
Let's lead this world a merry dance
Let's give stupidity a chance
[Verse 2]
We've heard quite enough
Of experts and their dealings
Why face the facts
When you can just feel the feelings?
[Refrain]
Let's lead this world a merry dance
Let's give stupidity a chance
[Chorus 1]
Forget political correctness
I mean, W-T-F?
I don't wanna think about the world
I wanna talk about myself
[Verse 3]
Instead of governing
With thoughtful sensitivity
Let's shock and awe the world
With idiotic bigotry
[Refrain]
Let's lead this world a merry dance
And give stupidity a chance
[Verse 4]
You say corruption
I say justified reward
Keeps the cronies loyal
Chairmen of the board
[Refrain]
Let's lead this world a merry dance
And give stupidity a chance
[Chorus 2]
Forget political correctness
Let's talk man to man
Chicks are always up for it
You gotta grab whatever you can
[Verse 5]
We need a leader who knows
That money means class
With an eye for a peach-perfect
Piece of ass
Not a total dumb-cluck
Just one of the guys
Let's give stupidity a prize
[Refrain]
Let's lead this world a merry dance
And give stupidity a chance
Let's give stupidity a chance
