lyrics

We are the ones with the birthday candles and the plastic guns that are hiding the kids with the unwashed clothes under trash can lids.

Down at the market, there's a New Age mother having heart attacks.
Down at the market, there's...(~~i can't remember, it was so long ago! ~~)

We are the ones with the birthday candles and the plastic guns that are hiding the kids with the unwashed clothes under trash can lids.

Down the b-b-b-bank, there's a business man always giving out handjobs.
Down at the bank, there are billions of dollars covered in Teflon.

Raid on Mobile, Exxon, run up the cost of the fight with the rakes, cover up every trace of the kids with the tanks.
Raid on Mocile, Exxon, kiss every mouth of the dauntless elite, settle down with a man who is wise and discreet.

We are the ones with the birthday candles and the plastic guns that are hiding the kids with the unwashed clothes under trash can lids.
And yes, wielding a pie pie pie is an unfit worker in an unfit uniform.
And yes, wielding a pie pie pie (~~i can't remember, it was so long ago! ~~)

Spies for a day!
