I Am The Owl - Lyrics by Dead Kennedys


Lyrics
I am your plumber

No I never went away
I still bug your bedrooms

And pick up everything you say

It can be a boring job

To moniter all day your excess talk

I hear when you're drinking

And cheating on your lonely wife
I play tape recordings

Of you to my friends at night

We've got our girl in bed with you

You're on candid camera

We just un-elected you

[
Chorus]
I am the owl
I seek out the foul

Wipe 'em away

Keep America free

For clean livin' folks like me

If you demonstrate

Against somebody we like
I'll slip on my wig

And see if I can start a riot

Transform you to an angry mob

All your leaders go to jail for my job

But we ain't the Russians

Political trials are taboo

We've got our secret

Ways of getting rid of you

Fill you full of LSD

Turn you loose on a freeway

[
Chorus]


Send you spinning

Send you spinning

Send you spinning all over the freeway

Spinning on the crowded freeway

Spinning on the freeway

Spinning on the freeway

Spin

Spin

Spin-
Lookout

The press, they never even cared

Why a youth leader walked into a speeding car

In ten years we'll leak the truth

By then it's only so much papaer

Watergate hurt

But nothing really ever changed
A teeny bit quiter

But we still play our little games

We still play our little games

We still play our little games

We still play our little games

We still play a lot of games

I am the owl
