Dead Kennedys › Lyrics › 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 unelected you

I am the owl
I seek out the foul
Wipe 'em away, keep America free
For clean livin' folks like me, hey, hey

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
But we got our secret
Ways of getting rid of you
Fill, you're full of LSD
And turn you loose on a freeway, away

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
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, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin, lookout
(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
Bu by then, it's only so much paper

You don't wanna get hurt
But nothing really ever changed
A teeny bit quieter
But we still play our little games

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
