Cultural Elite Sign-Up Sheet

I've had my head, I've had my head on hold
Been told for years "You're better safe than bold"
I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick of holding back

The God and country plan
Turned out pretty bland
The moral high ground
Is out to dumb you down
There's nothing like a new witch trial
When the witches outweigh
All the puritans
Give me the cultural elite sign-up sheet

Well I ain't no renaissance man, but I ain't no dummy
I won't apologize for trying to be free
Or write or scream or win or lose or laugh

The God and country plan
Turned out pretty bland
The moral high ground
Is out to dumb you down
There's nothing like a new witch trial
When the witches outweigh
All the puritans
Give me the cultural elite sign-up sheet
These days all it takes
To get tagged a traitor
Is asking for debate
Give me the cultural elite sign-up sheet

I've tried so goddamn hard for an open mind
Found out too late that it just ain't in the design
I know, I know, I know my time is short

The God and country plan
Turned out pretty bland
The moral high ground
Is out to dumb you down
There's nothing like a new witch trial
When the witches outweigh
All the puritans
Give me the cultural elite sign-up sheet
These days all it takes
To get tagged a traitor
Is asking for debate
Give me the cultural elite sign-up sheet

I've had my head, I've had my head on hold
Been told for years "You're better safe than bold"
I know, I know, I know my time is short
