lyrics

Yeah,
We're capitalists. We're socialists.
But don't worry about us -
We believe in democracy
We're analysts of communism
But we're not communal
and don't buy Marxist Philosophy
We're politicians in sewer systems
While septic tanks fill up with GOP decisions
And there's a world religion
That shreds the masses
Yeah it beats us down
But we're gonna FLY UP, HALLELUJAH!
in our playpen
FLYIN' UP, HALLELUJAH! in our playpen
FLYIN' UP, HALLELUJAH! with a rattle in our playpen

Yeah we're bums and medics, poets and prophets
We live among you and we got lawyers too
Yeah we're educated but we don't know nothin'
But hey at least that's somethin'
We're ragamuffins
We're social outcasts, yeah we got bad teeth
But we can't afford a dentist in this US economy
I got bullet points for a gaping wound
It's constant contact with your rich perfume
HALLELUJAH! in our playpen
growing up, HALLELUJAH! in our playpen
throwing up, HALLELUJAH! in our playpen
throwing up, HALLELUJAH! with a rattle in our playpen

Oh! What a great economy!
Oh! What a great economy!

some are passive. some are proud.
some harsh prudes maybe talk too loud.
some leave early, some remain
some see lightning in a weather vane
some seem cheery, some seem mad
somewhere someone feels so lonely, oh so sad,
some work it out
with fear and trembling
some oppress
it manifests in everything
up, HALLELUJAH! in our playpen
growing up, HALLELUJAH! in our playpen
throwing up, HALLELUJAH! in our playpen
HALLELUJAH with a rattle in our playpen

whatchagonna do
shhh -- whatchagonna do?
