about

Bum #1: "..When you jumped on that security guards back and you were yelling in his ear; 'A CIA PUT A CHIP IN MY BRAIN' I was laughing so hard I almost shit my pants..."

Bum #2: "ALMOST?" - Dirty Work

This song was written as a sort of half joke, half political song based on rumors of a possible draft after the US invaded Iraq. The above exchange from the movie "Dirty Work" starring Norm MacDonald was the inspiration for the song.

lyrics

I got a notice in the mail.
It said sign up or go to jail.
They missed their quota once again.
No sense in turning myself in.

Secret Service will try their best.
Put out a warrant for my arrest.
Doesn't matter where I try to hide.
Track me, down with satellites.

Chorus:
The Government is after me.
Wants me to be all I can be.
Take me downtown into D.C.
Lock me up, and throw away the key.

They'll brake my windows, storm the door.
Beat up, kicked down on the floor.
They'll tap my phone and read my mind.
A Victim of an unknown crime.

The F.B.I. thinks I'm insane.
But I never even had a chance.
A C.I.A. put a chip in my brain.
And I, almost shit my pants.
