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 

And 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 

a new salute is genuflected 

a gallup poll will be respected 

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 



Oh yeah....
