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....
