lirik lagu peter bazooka – the dead milkmen
tuesday – yes, it was tuesday
when i saw my congressman coming out of the t-tty bar
he didn’t look like my congressman, but that’s okay
n-body really looks like themselves anymore
i think its got something to do with that cr-p
they’ve been pouring into the water
i decided it might be wise to follow the congressman
just to see what he was up to.
after all, my tax dollars do pay his salary.
the congressman got into a taxi, so i hailed a taxi
despite the obvious dangers involved
and the coloured voices in my head began to sing:
all i gotta do is put my ear to the wall
and i can hear it all, yes i can hear it all
all i gotta do is put my ear to the wall
and i can even hear the little insects crawl
the congressman was in taxi number 23
and i was in cab 17
but numbers are meaningless in this kind of cat and squid game
my driver was an aries
and he laughed when i said “follow that cab!”
and he kept laughing until he saw the cold blue steel of little elvis
“keep your god-d-mn hands off that radio!” i warned him
“i work for the government!”
this is actually a half truth
i’m really a bike courier
but i make a lot of deliveries to government offices.
that’s where i heard about the cheese.
and the coloured voices in my head kept singing:
all i gotta do is put my ear to the wall
and i can hear it all, yes i can hear it all
all i gotta do is put my ear to the wall
and i can even hear the little insects crawl
there’s this super secret government program called
“operation the cheese stands alone”
it’s the congressmen’s pet project
they claim that they’re giving surplus cheese to the needy
i, of course, have my suspicions
after 15 very quiet minutes
the congressman’s cab pulled up outside a warehouse
i had the aries circle around the building and drop me off.
he seemed to be grasping the importance of my mission
since he said i didn’t have to pay him.
as long as i promised to stay very far away from him and his taxi.
i swear, some people just don’t want to get involved.
all i gotta do is put my ear to the wall
and i can hear it all, yes i can hear it all
all i gotta do is put my ear to the wall
and i can even hear the little insects crawl
so i walked into that cold dark place
little elvis drawn and ready for action
i too was ready –
ready for the moment when i would be a real american
all i gotta do is bang my head on the wall
and i can have it all, yes i can have it all
all i gotta do is bang my head on the wall
and i can even make the little insects crawl
