peter mulvey - bright idea lyrics

[verse 1]
they got my uncle fired
they got the power ties
they got my checkbook wired
they got the buzz saw eyes
they got the white starched shirt
they got the bowler hat
and they are old as dirt
and they will grind you flat
they got the crude oil fix
and heavy water steam
they got the caffeine kicks
they got the poet’s dream
they got the downtown lofts
oh they don’t miss a trick
and though they spеak so soft
they got a big, big stick

[chorus]
call in the troops
beforе i crack
just beam me up
ain’t coming back
i know a place
so far away
and if i get there
that’s where i’ll stay
[verse 2]
they got the mainframe locked
they got the nixon tapes
and when you punch that clock
somehow it feels like rape
they got the sunday times
they got the textbook mill
they got the cocaine lines
they got the prozac pill
and they define the norm
with the saline breast
they got the form fit form
they got the low cut dress
they got the greenback blues
they got the red scare down
they got the blue suede shoes
they got the black shirts brown

[chorus]
don’t turn your face
first you tell me
is this your place?
do you feel free
the heart rebels
against the mind
i swear to god
i’ll win this time
[verse 3]
they got the landline tapped
they got the planes in flight
they got the junebug zapped
on every summer night
they got the porch swing rigged
they got the proud and the few
they got the cold steel brig
they got the jump on you

[chorus]
i read my books
by candlelight
i set to pray
i love my wife
i’ll play their game
and still be kind
and hope that i
don’t wake to find
that i guessed wrong
and now they’ve come
to take away
what i’ve begun

[outro]
i got a bright idea
i got a bright idea
i got a bright idea
