The Chain is Unbroken

Cyril Tranquilizer

And Milo Depilatory

Don their leather jackets

And put on their mohawk wigs

They put on their mohawk wigs

And step out under the lights

Their power ties shining

In front of the audience

In front of the audience

They deliver the well-known news

That despite that it's worse than it's ever been

It's not as bad as all that

It's not as bad as all that

Please don't panic

The world is going to hell

It's been there all along

It's been there all along

And you should just be comfortable there

It's all under control

And we have the situation in hand

And we have the situation in hand

We'll smash our guitars

Snarl at the audience

And wear cheek piercings and eye makeup

And wear cheek piercings and eye makeup

Bash the drums

Over the economists heads

And we have the situation in hand

And we have the situation in hand

So please stop doing what you've been doing

And start doing more of what you were doing

That got us here

That got us here

But we can get you out

We think we can we think we can we think we can

You can turn off the lights

You can turn off the lights

And remove the microphones

Cyril Tranquilizer

And Milo Depilatory

Have left the building
