Lyrics

[Verse 1] Driving home from my meth lab Realized something had changed Looked in the sky, saw with my eye The moon was following me [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Sifting through the confetti I picked up my broken phone Looked in the crack, somebody waved back Just sitting on their somebody throne [Chorus] 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 [Bridge: John Linnell (Cowering citizens), John Flansburgh (The shadow government)] Up the library steps, up the library steps Up the library steps, up the library steps (Here comes... the Humvee) Up the library steps, up the library steps (The Humvee) Up the library steps [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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
