  • What kind of things are you that deliver papers
    White papers that you say apply to me
    Reams of rules constructed for protection
    Protection for yourselves, but not for me

    You hide behind your walls of bureaucracy
    I find that you've nothing to do with me
    You're all aliens
    I opened up my eyes, and saw to my surprise
    Monsters in disguise, wearing bowler hats and old school ties

    Today you went out to inspect your servants
    I saw you wave and rave from my T.V.
    You promised soon that they would have a paper
    Give them the right to kill quite legally

    So you hide in your palace of bureaucracy
    I hope that you never come terminate me
    You're all aliens
    I opened up my eyes, and saw to my surprise
    Monsters in disguise, wearing bowler hats and old school ties

    I opened up my eyes, and saw to my surprise
    Monsters in disguise, wearing bowler hats and old school ties
    A-I opened up my eyes, and saw to my surprise
    Monsters in disguise, wearing bowler hats and old school ties
    A-I opened up my eyes, and saw to my surprise
    Monsters in disguise, wearing bowler hats and old school ties
