(Repeat Verse 2)
We're gonna commandeer the local airwaves,
to tell the neighbours what's been going on.
and they will shake their heads, and wag their bony fingers,
in all the wrong directions and by daybreak we'll be gone.
D G A G A D
(Repeat Verse 2)
I'm gonna get myself in fighting trim
scope out every angle of unfair advantage
I'm gonna bribe the officials, I'm gonna kill all the judges,
it's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage,
(Repeat Chorus)
Our mother has been absent ever since we founded Rome,
but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home.
G A D G A D G A D G A
Oh!
