No Dumber from Sorry State by Christopher Thomas Elliott

I have heard it said that everything has been dumbed down
And we are getting dumber.
I wonder.
If it's true, there must have been a time when things were not as dumb
And we were smarter.
I wonder.

I don't know,
But I don't think so.

I have heard it said that things were better
When we farmed the land and cooked with fires.
I wonder
If it's true that things were better
In the age of virgin queens and serfs and squires.
i wonder.

I don't think so.

It won't get worse.
It won't get better.
We're not dumbed down.
We're as dumb as ever.
The good old days happen never.

I have heard that history was made by giants
And we're standing on their shoulders.
I wonder
If the giants were not giants, they were scoundrels,
And we are none the wiser.

I don’t know.
Maybe so.
