Artist Statement

The song The Idiot Parade is a condemnation of grotesque ideologies and their disturbing intertwinement. It is an unapologetic denunciation of fact denialism, Hollywood-esque conspiracy theories, anti-science activism, mob rule mentality, and the delusion of white supremacy. It stands in protest against these currents both individually, and as they form a most unsettling union on the fringes of contemporary society.

lyrics

In a forgotten space where the talk keeps it on the dumb-dumb
Sucking an air recycled, and repellant to all but utmost blockheads
Gnashing
Writhing
In your ordure

A third-rate bolthole banished to the outskirts
Oh, such grandeur of the divine supremacy you espouse
A-bleating
A-bleating


Beneath the undergrowth
Camouflaged by shadow
Following depraved directives
Of The Idiot Parade


Fall in line with useless ruination
Stand up, salute, and join the Idiot Parade
A pale mob of senseless desperation
Stand up, salute, and join the idiot
The idiot
The Idiot Parade


Here they come again
Bearing teeth and cheap flags in a rabid procession
Overgrown hobbledehoys playing cowboys and hatred

The stench of it all
A pathogen, a plague from glass towers to the backland
A pawn's reenactment of wars he'll never understand
Repeating
Repeating


A sadistic dissent
A parroting of propaganda
Marching on to oblivion
With The Idiot Parade


Fall in line with useless ruination
Stand up, salute, and join the Idiot Parade
A pale mob of senseless desperation
Stand up, salute, and join The Idiot Parade

Stand up, salute, and join the idiot
The idiot
Fuck this fascist charade


In your fear of reason
Fear of the other
And perversion of truth

You'll heed the droning of the simpleton strongman
A hollow religion of games, battles, and lives
Brought to rust
