They Might Be Giants - The Shadow Government lyrics

[They Might Be Giants - The Shadow Government lyrics]

Driving home from my meth lab
Realized something had changed
Looked in the sky saw with my eye
The moon was following me

Where's the shadow government when
You need it? Where's the shadow government?
It's a bad bad world it's a bad bad world

Sifting through the confetti
I picked up my broken phone
I looked in the crack somebody waved back
Just sitting on their somebody throne

Where's the shadow government when
You need it? Where's the shadow government?
It's a bad bad world it's a bad bad

Cowering citizens: "Up the library steps"
The shadow government: "Here
Comes the Humvee"

Crawling out of the flophouse I saw
The mayor stealing my junk i doth protest
Citizen's arrest now my body's in his trunk

Where's the shadow government when
You need it? Where's the shadow government?
It's a bad bad world it's a bad bad world
It's a bad bad
