We sent in the army, they sounded alarms, we   Saw it coming from a mile away   We kept it off radar 'cause 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 & games, we were just pulling legs   We knew this barrel of fun would be a powder keg      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 & games, we were just pulling legs   We knew this barrel of fun would be a powder keg      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 gallop poll will be respected   Gallows pole will be erected   And all this will go undetected      And 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 & games, we were just pulling legs   We knew this barrel of fun would be a powder keg      Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah   We knew this barrel of fun would be a powder keg   Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah   Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's a powder keg      Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah   Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah   Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah   Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
