When was the last time, better angels reigned
And walked among us every day
They made a beeline for the backdoor, what's more
Truth has up an' run away
So for our children I pray
Joyous we'll be, hands high - in harmony
Voices will sing, so wide - fearlessly
Oh, to be truly finally free - from idiocracy
Seems hard times brings the malice out in man, wonder why
We gotta find someone to blame
All the small minds run and join the caravan
Shoutin' out, "Go back from where you came"
When ya know we're all from the one and same place
Joyous we'll be, hands high - in harmony
Voices will sing, so wide - fearlessly
Whenever we're truly finally free
And come the last time we see the dim witless eyes
Talkin' bout' Don Foolery's poison lies
We'll have a hot time in the old town that night
And we'll be in amity unified
Dr. King had a dream, so do I
Joyous we'll be, hands high - in harmony
Voices will sing, so wide - fearlessly
And we'll be truly finally free
And we'll be truly finally free - from Idiocracy
Joyous we'll be
