The Shadow Government

Driving home from my mad 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
Looked in the crack, somebody went back
To 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...

up the library steps
Up the library steps
Up the library steps
Up the library steps
(Here comes)
Up the library steps
(the humbly)
Up the library steps
(the humbly)
Up the library steps

crawling out of the flop house
I saw the mayor stealing my junk
I doth protest citizens 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 ...
