The Shadow Government Songtext
von They Might Be Giants

Driving home from my meth lab
Realized something had changed
Looked in the sky
Saw with my eye
The moon was following me

Where′s the shadow government when you need it?
Where's the shadow government?
It′s a bad bad world
It's a bad bad world

Sifting through the confetti, I picked up my broken phone
I looked in the crack
Somebody waved back
Just sitting on their somebody throne


Where's the shadow government when you need it?
Where′s the shadow government?
It′s a bad bad world
It's a bad bad

Cowering citizens: "Up the library steps"
The shadow government: "Here comes the Humvee"

Crawling out of the flophouse I saw the mayor stealing my junk
I doth protest
Citizen′s arrest
Now my body's in his trunk

Where′s the shadow government when you need it?
Where's the shadow government?
It′s a bad bad world
It's a bad bad world
It's a bad bad
