I Was a Dupe for the RCP

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was sitting at home and I watched TV The phone rings, someone wants to speak to me "No business as usual needs a benefit show" And could our band play? They need to know I said, "Sure you're not the RCP?" "No really," the voice said, "Not me We have some friends that are stuck in jail And the money we collect could pay the bail" [Verse 2] I say, "No problem, we'll give it a go We'd really like to help raise some dough You got a place, you got a date? Well, fine thеn, that's really great" We gеt to the show and what do we see? Banners and newspapers from the RCP I found the man who had spoken to me He said, "I was a dupe for the RCP" [Verse 3] I was a dupe for the RCP Now everyone looks funny at me A double agent for the FBI They look at me and they wonder why Now even my band looks weird at me Could happen to anyone, can't you see? My band says, "Dave, work on your poetry Don't book us no more for the RCP" [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] We get to the show and what do we see? Banners and newspapers from the RCP I found the man who had spoken to me He said, "I was a dupe for the RCP" I was a dupe for the RCP Now everyone looks funny at me A double agent for the CIA I tell them there's no way Now even my band looks weird at me Could happen to anyone, can't you see? My band says, "Dave, work on your poetry Don't book us no more for the RCP" [Outro] I was a dupe for the RCP I was a dupe for the RCP I was a dupe for the RCP I was a dupe for the RCP I was a dupe for the RCP I was a dupe for the RCP I was a dupe for the RCP I was a dupe!
