Keep It Simple Stupid
Music and Words by Rich La Bonté

(INSTRU IN)
Some insane angry gangster
Is beating on his drum
And rolling out his complex plans for
Glory in the sun

He'll trample cross the fruited plain
Force order to the mud
And end like every war campaign
In chaos, pain and blood

CHORUS:
Keep it simple stupid
That's what we used to say
You don't need no manual
To make it through the day

Keep it user friendly
To make it better yet
Easy to remember, not so
Easy to forget.

When every march is thwarted
With patience and respect
War profiteers rewarded
With infamy and death

And each of us is recognized
For who, not what we are
The terrorists are terrified
To find their access barred.

(CHORUS)
(INSTRU) (INSTRU SOLO) (INSTRU)

Don't chorus with the rooters
For what they think is true
Don't join a line of looters
With nothing else to do

And if you think your neighbor wrong
Don't call the Thought Police
Faulty logic won't last long.
Oppression won't bring peace.

(CHORUS) (INSTRU)
(CHORUS) (INSTRU)
(REPEAT 3) (CHORUS)
(INSTRU SOLO OUT)
