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 and games
 We're 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 and games
 We're 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
 a new salute is genuflected
 a gallup poll will be respected
 gallows pole will be erected
all  this will  go undetecteeeeeeeeeeeed
 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 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, oh yeah
 It's a powder  keg
  (4  Fr)
 Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
