about

Idiocy is the second single from David's upcoming debut album. It is a witty and scathing song about the state of the modern world. The track incorporates elements of progressive rock and blues with a totally unique blend of hip hop and rap. Joining David on vocal performances is the enigmatic and talented BenZo from Skibbereen. BenZo successfully brings a new edge by channeling the rap and hip hop flavours of the 90's.

lyrics

Is this what we have come to be
The creatures of this earth and the fish in the sea
They can only aspire to our impressive levels of idiocy... idiocy
What will we do when the water is burned

And you; you have a tower built in your name
"Grab 'em by the..." do you think that's OK
Is it a brain-drain or am I insane
Or are the voters one and the same
The only thing smaller than your hands is your brain
I've lost hope that we'll ever learn
What will we do when the waters burn
When the waters turn

Is this what we have come to be
The creatures on this earth and the fish in the sea
They can only aspire to our impressive levels of idiocy... idiocy
What will we do when the water is burned

And you; stuck in a fridge as you try to hide
Deport migrants, who gave you the right
Shook hands with everybody in sight
Your actions cost many people their lives
The only thing dumber than your hair is your brain
I've lost hope that we'll ever learn
What will we do when the waters turn
When the waters turn

What'll we do
When we realize that money ain't food
When you realize your shepherds are fools
Might as well stand up on the podium and drool
And the crowd would still come out with a woo

Scratching my head like the fuck are we gonna do
Are these the people we're supposed to be looking up to
We gotta leak emails just to come up with some proof
Don't that show you that it's run by buffoons
The real virus resides right inside us
All these people running around and kicking up a fuss
While we turn entire oceans into streams
Filled with broken dreams and bits of fucking plastic from our greed

Is this what we have come to be
The destroyers of the earth and the polluters of the sea
The shapers of life and the makers of disease
You can only go so far before it starts to decrease and implode
Turn back to our natural mode
The default settings that the earth is owed
And if you don't dig what I'm saying call me insane
And goad away because it's facts that I'm spraying is what I'm laying
