The Shadow Government Lyrics

[Verse 1: John Flansburgh]
Driving home from my meth lab
Realized something had changed
Looked in the sky, saw with my eye
The moon was following me

[Chorus: John Flansburgh]
Where's the shadow government when you need it?
Where's the shadow government?
It's a bad bad world
It's a bad bad world

[Verse 2: John Flansburgh]
Sifting through the confetti, I picked up my broken phone
I looked in the crack, somebody waved back
Just sitting on their somebody throne

[Chorus: John Flansburgh]
Where's the shadow government when you need it?
Where's the shadow government?
It's a bad bad world
It's a bad bad

[Bridge: John Linnell (Cowering citizens), John Flansburgh (The shadow government)]
Up the library steps, up the library steps
Up the library steps, up the library steps
(Here comes... the Humvee) Up the library steps, up the library steps
(The Humvee) Up the library steps

[Verse 3: John Flansburgh]
Crawling out of the flophouse, I saw the mayor stealing my junk
I doth protest, citizen's arrest
Now my body's in his trunk

[Chorus: John Flansburgh]
Where's the shadow government when you need it?
Where's the shadow government?
It's a bad bad world
It's a bad bad world
It's a bad bad
