lyrics

the kingdom is ransacked
the jewels all taken back
and the chopper descends
they're hidden in the back
with a message written on a half-baked potato
the spool goes 'round
saying I'm back here in this place and i could cry
and there's smoke you could click on

what are we gonna do now?
taking off his turban, they said, "is this man a jew?"
'cause they're working for the clampdown
they put up a poster saying: "we are robbing you!"
we're working for the clampdown
we will teach our twisted speech
to the young believers
we will train our blue-eyed men
to be young believers

the judge said, five to ten, but I say double that again
i'm not working for the clampdown
no man born with a living soul
can be working for the clampdown
kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall
how can you refuse it?
let fury have the hour, anger can be power
do you know that you can use it?

the voices in your head are calling
stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming
only a fool would think someone could save you
the men at the factory are old and cunning
you don't owe nothing, boy, get running
it's the best years of your life they want to steal

but you grow up and you calm down
and working for the clampdown
you start wearing blue and brown
you're working for the clampdown
so you got someone to boss around
it makes you feel big now
you drift until you brutalize
make your first kill now

in these days of evil presidentes
working for the clampdown
but lately one or two has fully paid their due
for working for the clampdown

ha! get along! get along! (working for the clampdown)
ha! get along! get along! (working for the clampdown)
yeah, they're working hard in harrisburg
they're working hard in d.c.
working hard for you and me
