Dead Kennedys I Am The Owl Lyrics

I Am The Owl 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
