Barenaked Ladies: Fun & Games [Bonus Track]

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
