We Sent In The Army They Sounded Alarms We Saw It Coming From A Mile Away. We Kept It Off Radar Because We Had To Say Our Intentions Were To Save The Day.
Why Did You Fail To See?
It Was A Gag It Was All For A Laugh They Were Shocked And They Were Awed And They Were Blown In Half Fun And Games We're Just Pulling Legs We Knew This Barrel Of Fun Would Be A Powderkeg
We Kept It All Long-range And Made A Regime Change You'd Have Thought It Would Have Been A Gas But When It Got Ugly We Sat Around Smugly Because You Bought Our Little Joke En Masse
Don't Look At Me That Way
It Was A Gag It Was All For A Laugh We Knew Your Sons And Daughters Would Be Blown In Half Fun And Games We're Just Pulling Legs We Knew This Barrel Of Fun Would Be A Powderkeg
Put A Smile On We're The Ones That You Selected Leave That Dial Son Because We Just Got Re-elected In A While Our Bill Of Rights Will Be Rejected And All The Blame Will Be Deflected The Forests Will Be Unprotected The Nation's Poor Will Be Neglected Creation Myth Is Resurrected The New Salute Is Genuflected The Gallup Poll Will Be Respected The Gallows Pole Will Be Erected All This Will Go Undetected
While You All Slumbered We Sat And Crunched Numbers Of All The Causalities We Could Afford There's No Need To Draft Them You Could Hear Us Laugh Then The Poor And Black All Need The Room And Board
Did I Say That Out Loud?
It Was A Gag It Was All For A Laugh And Now Our Very Nation Has Been Blown In Half Fun And Games We're Just Pulling Legs We Knew This Barrel Of Fun Would Be A Powderkeg
