Analysis of 'Dumb
Paul Marauder 1962 (Belfast)
He said the Earth was flat
I said the Earth is what?
Flat?
How could you say that?
How dumb is that?
He said it wasn’t The Saudis
who flew into the towers
But it was little green men all the way
from Mars
He says you can count angels dancing on
the head of a pin
He’s so f*cking dumb he’ll believe
anything
People are so dumb
So dumb
Dumb
