Lyrics for I am the Owl
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 monitor 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, ha I am the owl I seek out the foul Wipe 'em away, keep America free For clean-livin' folks like me, hey, hey 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 And 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 And turn you loose on a freeway, whee! I am the owl I seek out the foul Wipe 'em away, keep America free For clean-livin' folks like me I send you spinning I send you spinning I send you spinning all over the freeway Spinning on the crowded freeway Spinning on the freeway, spinning on the freeway Spinning on the freeway, spinning on the freeway Spinning on the freeway, spinning on the freeway (Spinning on the freeway, spinning on the freeway) spin, spin, spin, look out! The press, they never even cared Why a youth leader walked into a speeding car In ten years or so we'll leak the truth But by then it's only so much paper You know, Watergate hurt But nothing really ever changed A teeny bit quiter but we still play our little games But we still play our little games But we still play our little games We still play our little, we still play our little, we still play our little We still play a lot of games! I am the owl I am the owl I seek out the foul Wipe 'em away, keep America free Wipe 'em away, keep America free Wipe 'em away, keep America free For me!
