A Canadian perspective on the Republican party
We sent in the army
They sounded alarms we saw it coming from a mile away.
We kept it off radar
‘Cause we had to say our intentions were to save the day.
Why did you fail to see
It was a gag
It was all for a laugh
They were shocked, and they were awed, and they were blown in half
Fun and games
We were just pulling legs
We knew this barrel of fun would be a powder keg
We kept it all long-range and made a regime change
You’d have thought it would have been a gas
But when it got ugly
We sat around smugly because you bought our little joke en masse
Don’t look at me that way
It was a gag
It was all for a laugh
We knew your sons and daughters would be blown in half
Fun and games
We were just pulling legs
We knew this barrel of fun would be a powder keg
Put a smile on
We’re the ones that you selected
Leave that dial, son
Because we just got re-elected
In a while our
Bill of Rights will be rejected
And all the blame will be deflected
The forest will be unprotected
The nations poor will be neglected
Creation-myth is resurrected
A new salute is genuflected
A gallup pole will be respected
Gallows pole will be erected
All this will go undetected
While you all slumbered
We sat and crunched numbers of all the casualties we could afford
There’s no need to draft them
You could hear us laughing the poor and black will need the room and board
Did I say that out loud
It was a gag
It was all for a laugh
And now our very nation has been blown in half
Fun and games
We were just pulling legs
We knew this barrel of fun would be a powder keg
