lyrics

I see big idea people, on the left and on the right
I see big idea people, much too big to be contrite

I see big idea people, always standing in the light
I see big idea people, almost real but not quite

Big ideas become evil, like Regan McNeil
Big ideas possess people, like Captain Howdy

Big ideas are contagious, like coronavirus
Big ideas will not save us, from the pain that awaits us

Big ideas make us famous, like Frederick Engels
Big ideas make us shameless, like a cat that licks its

The road to hell is paved with freedom: the western ideal
Don't take the things if you don't need them, just pass the jug and sing along
