- Frank Zappa - Dumb All Over Lyrics:
Whoever we are, wherever we're from
We should've noticed by now, our behavior is dumb
And if our chances expect to improve
It's gonna take a lot more, than trying to remove the other race
Or the other whatever, from the face
Of the planet altogether
They call it THE EARTH, which is a dumb kinda name
But they named it right, 'cause we behave the same...
We are dumb all over
Dumb all over, yes we are
Dumb all over, near an' far
Dumb all over, black an' white
People, we is not wrapped tight
Nerds on the left, nerds on the right
Religious fanatics on the air every night
Saying the Bible tells the story
Makes the details sound real gory
About what to do if the geeks over there
Don't believe in the book we got over here
You can't run a race without no feet
An' pretty soon there won't be no street
For dummies to jog on or doggies to dog on
Religious fanatics can make it be all gone
I mean, it won't blow up an' disappear
It'll just look ugly for a thousand years...
You can't run a country by a book of religion
Not by a heap or a lump or a smidgen
Of foolish rules of ancient date
Designed to make you all feel great
While you fold, spindle and mutilate
Those unbelievers from a neighboring state
TO ARMS! TO ARMS! Hooray! That's great
Two legs ain't bad unless there's a crate
They ship the parts to mama in
For souvenirs: two ears - Get Down!
Not his, not hers, but what the hey?
The Good Book says: "It's gotta be that way!"
But their book says: "REVENGE THE CRUSADES!!!!..."
"With whips an' chains an' hand grenades..."
TWO ARMS? TWO ARMS? Have another and another
Our God says: "There ain't no other!"
Our God says: "It's all okay!"
Our God says: "This is the way!"
It says in the book: "Burn and destroy....."
An' repent, an' redeem, an' revenge, an' deploy
An' rumble thee forth to the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side
Cause they don't go for what's in the Book
An' that makes 'em BAD
So, verily we must choppeth them up
And stompeth them down
Or rent a nice French bomb
To poof them out of existence
While leaving their real estate just where we need it
To use again for temples in which to praise OUR GOD
"Cause He can really take care of business!"
And when His humble TV servant
With humbld white hair and humble glass an' a nice and brown suit
And maybe a blond wife who takes phone calls
Tells us our God says it's okay to do this stuff, then we gotta do it!
'Cause if we don't do it, we ain't gwine up to hebbin!
Depending on which book you're using at the time...
Can't use theirs... it's all lies...... Gotta use mine... Ain't that right?
That's what they say -- Every night... Every day...
Hey, we can't really be dumb, if we're just following God's Orders
Let's get serious, God knows what's his doing!
He wrote this book here, an' the Book says:
"He made us all to be just like Him,"
So... If we're dumb... Then God is dumb...
An' maybe even a little ugly on the side
DUMB ALL OVER - a little ugly on the side
DUMB ALL OVER - a little ugly on the side
DUMB ALL OVER - a little ugly on the side
DUMB ALL OVER - a little ugly on the side
DUMB ALL OVER - a little ugly on the side
Should be the new national anthem.
rapping Frank always ahead of the game
Frank Zappa were a game changer, defiantly not a game player.
Yip,was rapping on "Trouble evry Day"already?
I once had the joy of subjecting two jehovah's witnesses to this tune. Never saw them again...Still, it is such a deliciously blasphemous track, and such an excellent production,at this time in his career, he was on fire, and is still way ahead of the music industries produce.
far out man
Dave Logeman is a fantastic drummer
Great Video. Sent it out over all the the boards of empty oak boards of destruction. Peace.
Great! Thanks for sharing!
good solo! Listen also to the solo in dumb on 7-22-84 Los Angeles Zappa 84 tour!
Yes Thankyou Henk.. Blistering>>!!
Yeh nice artwork for sure.....I used this song as soundtrack in film-making course in college..... nothing at all remarkable other than tons of footage of military aircraft I filmed at an air show.
And how often I've wished to subject the most religiously pompous asses to this BRILLIANT song.....
what's "alternate" about this video? it seems a bit slower than the "You Are What You Is" album's track......the (always scorching) guitar solo at end is greatly lengthened and also different..... love this version, where'd it come from?
Saw this Zappa era show at Tower Theater in Philadelphia...... both shows, no songs repeated, huge backdrop with rebuses (pictorial representations of verbal phrases)..... "Fuck Me You Ugly Son of a Bitch" was a hilarious rebus.
the sound fading out and in again in the last 2 minutes, was that intentional?
this is a real nifty little version of Dumb All Over but from what album was this taken?
This is from a set of outtakes/early mixes of You Are What You Is that leaked to collectors. The low volume at the end is in the source recording.
Who did the artwork? Beautiful portrait.
not sure if the question was answered on the portrait in the video, but there's a "watermark" in the lower right with artist's or agency's name.... I can't see the word past "fine art".... maybe better luck thru other eyes.
No idea, I think I found it on google images... Beautiful artwork indeed though
I found it on fineartamerica.com It's a painting by Ryan Rock, 24x30 inches Original £303 / Prints from £21...Hope that helps.
What album is this version from?
