Reptile in the Government

Intro

Mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm

Verse 1

In the capital they smile so bright

Cold scales underneath the suit and tie

Counting votes by candlelight

Little me I just eat my rice

Pre-Chorus

They say don't look too close

Don't ask where shadows go

They say young one just obey

The lies they spin all day

Chorus

Reptile in the government

Sliding through the corridor

Big green eyes in camera lens

Hiding what they're really for

Post-Chorus

Tsk-tsk-tsk

Watch them flick their tongue

Tsk-tsk-tsk

Hear the gavel sung

Verse 2

I saw a tail behind the desk

Covered by a polished vest

He shakes my hand and takes a test

Wants my dreams so I confess

Pre-Chorus

They say don't look too close

Don't ask where shadows go

They say young one just obey

The lies they spin all day

Chorus

Reptile in the government

Sliding through the corridor

Big green eyes in camera lens

Hiding what they're really for

Bridge

Samba in the marble hall

Little feet against the wall

I will grow up fast and tall

I will not let them take it all

Chorus

Reptile in the government

Sliding through the corridor

Big green eyes in camera lens

Hiding what they're really for

Post-Chorus

Tsk-tsk-tsk

Watch them flick their tongue

Tsk-tsk-tsk

Little kid stays strong
