Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
Happier than you and me
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
One chromosome too many
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew
He was a mongoloid
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
His friends were unaware
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
Nobody even cared
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
One chromosome too many
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew
He was a mongoloid
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
Happier than you and me
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
One chromosome too many
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew
He was a mongoloid
He was a mongoloid
Happier than you and me
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
One chromosome too many
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew
He was a mongoloid
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
His friends were unaware
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
Nobody even cared
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
One chromosome too many
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew
He was a mongoloid
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
Happier than you and me
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
One chromosome too many
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew
He was a mongoloid
He was a mongoloid

There’s a Warren Zevon song, “Even a Dog Can Shake Hands”…Also for reference, Lennon’s “Working Class Hero”: ‘they hate you if you’re clever, and they despise a fool’… “They” want you THINKING as little as possible, their figuring seeming to fall somewhere in the area of “use it or lose it” - they’d love for humans to just start being born without brains altogether lol, just a brain STEM will do just fine, thanks…
NOw, onto the actual song: Someone could subvert their own, TRUE, personality into that of a “working adult”, and nobody would ever notice…because our society values those who can assimilate, and shut the F up about it lol…
By the same token, a person who seems to be in the OPPOSITE position in life, afa “mental capacity”, can also “subvert” THEIR personality into that of a “working adult”, and it’s entirely possible - downright LIKELY, in fact - that nobody would ever notice…
This song is all wrapped up in the Devo “philosophy”, i.e., the DE-volution of society/the human race…
They were prescient - just go look at some of those miscreants from Jan 6 lol, especially that insane-looking bearded guy with the “Q” tshirt, the one whose sheer, plain-for-the-world-to-see-Idiocy was used by Ofc Eugene Goodman to lure the whole HERD away from where the legislators were located… Even when it’s given by the “enemy”, they don’t seem to fight the urge to FOLLOW…
