Amanda Palmer - The New Game lyrics

Your rating:
Now we're going to play a game 

that's lots of lots of fun 

i learned it from my auntie 

who learned it from my uncle 

my uncle has a secret job 

in washington dc 

something fancy 

with the government 

i hear he knows the president 

first you line up in a row 

and count "eeny miney moe" 

there are guards 

and there are prisoners 

and this is how it goes 



(key change!) 



1,2,3 

you are free 

and the rest must come with me 

who are you 

are you a witch 

no you are a terrorist 

if you think that you aren't 

you can tell us who you are 

but if you are not on the list 

then you are a terrorist 



and the terrorists get totured 

even if no proff exists 

because we can't take any risks 

and the terrorists get ordered 

to get back in line 

so we can play the game a second time 



if you're just a pacifist of some kind of activist 

then you are a terrorist 

why it says so on the list 

if you're a writer or artist 

or a lover facticist 

then you are a terrorist 

'cause it says so on the list 

and the terrorists get tortured 

whether or not they want to play 

because they're guilty anyway 

and the terrorists get murdered 

unless the terrorists insists he is not a terrorist 

but we can't find you on the list 

are you a doctor or a priest 

i'm a right-wing journalist 

so you are a terrorist 



if you're a fat capitalist 

or a neo-nazi facist 

we can find you on the list 

and you're not a terrorists 



isn't this an easy game 

anyone can play it 

people of all ages 

genders, creeds,(?) and races 

play it with a couple or a giant group 

entire continents can play 

the rules don't change they stay the same 



but once the game is done 

and someone's won 

there is a variation that is almost just as fun 



1,2,3 

come with me 

and the terrorists are free 

if you lose and get left over 

then you are a sympathizer 

if you are a singer-songwriter 

or a union-organizer 

bet your bottom-dollar 

you will be a sympathizer 

and the sympathizers must be punished 

even worse than terrorists 

as an example for the kids 

sympathizers must be banished 

so to find out which is which we must refer back to the list 

if you're a church administrator or a corporate stockholder 

or a nuclear arms maker you are not a sympathizer 

if you're not a sympathizer 

be a terrorist, okay 

you have to be one or the other 

or we have no game to play!
