about

Mensas = the group of highly intelligent humans who (presumably benignly) meet and propagate their kind. Sub-Mensas = everyone else. The down side of being inferior is discussed; but, is there a redeeming quality? Perhaps in all of us?

lyrics

THE SUBMENSAS SONG

You know, I never saw a war
Nor a casualty,
Yet I know what rubble is
and what a corpse must be . . .

(I read it in the paper somewhere!)
Now, isn’t that stupid?
It’s just so stupid.
I ask God, are we Stupid?

We’re Submensas
We’re Submensas
We’re only Submensas.

Twisting spasms in orgies go
Round and round the dance floors so
I don’t know up, I don’t know down
I just crease my mouth and frown

(I hope it doesn’t freeze that way!)
Now, isn’t that stupid?
It’s just so stupid.
I ask God are we stupid . . .

We’re Submensas
We’re Submensas
We’re just
Submensas

You know I wanna run away with you!
I want to patch the world together with glue!
I want to do it, but I can’t see
Why I can’t believe in me . . .

(And that’s the way it feels
sometimes in the rain,
in the dark,
or when I’m all alone.)

Now, isn’t that stupid?
It’s oh, so stupid
I ask God, are we stupid?

We’re Submensas

Under the Lord
Under the altar
Under the table
Of control
We’re trapped
We’re trapped
There’s just one word:
inferior.
