Identity Theft - Nellie McKay.mp3

[00:04.50]Because I'm tired of maturity, airport insecurity
[00:08.64]Runnin' from the Thought Police, fightin' with the go-betweens
[00:11.70]Hold up, let me steal a breath
[00:13.83]'Cause we're dealin' with identity theft
[00:16.68](You need an education)
[00:18.58]I don't see why I got to
[00:19.78](You need a good degree)
[00:21.44]As to assimilate
[00:22.55]So little time, so much to be bored by
[00:24.93]If no one trod along Harvard lawn, no one'd make a nuclear bomb
[00:28.32]They don't teach you how to care, empathisin' if you dare
[00:31.12]Euthanize your sense of fair play, better to obey
[00:33.90]No child is free, oh, why, it's queasy to see
[00:36.31]Is that an elementary or a penitentary
[00:39.07]Huh, geez, get off my back
[00:40.58]Beat it, take it to town, man
[00:42.30]Idiots go to college to get dumbed down
[00:45.31]Ooh, it leaves you bereft
[00:48.33]Ooh, identity theft
[00:51.11]I may be wrong, I don't know why
[00:53.95]I may be wrong, but I'll try
[00:56.00]Because I'm sick of the insanity, watchin' horny manatee
[00:59.27]Feelin' like a libertine, dealin' with the death machine
[01:02.19]Hold 'em up, it's a street arrest
[01:04.52]And we're dealin' with identity theft
[01:07.55](You need a publication)
[01:09.43]I don't see why I got to
[01:10.57](You need a press release)
[01:12.22]As to assimilate
[01:13.48]Journo-fascist profiteers, pornotastic pioneers
[01:16.35]Bonbonbastic puppeteers, get away from me
[01:18.99]How can you write what we read, that ain't my reality
[01:21.75]You disabuse humanity, humility and fealty
[01:24.60]Oh, you guess you got an edge
[01:26.20]Hiding your hedge from the feds
[01:27.62]Puttin' down the little veg
[01:29.01](Ignorance is a right, not a privilege)
[01:29.94]I'm finished, done, and had it
[01:31.41]And while you ****s are at it
[01:32.94]As far as I'm concerned, Pluto's still a planet
[01:36.20]Ooh, you die a quick death
[01:39.06]Ooh, identity theft
[01:41.89]I may be wrong, I don't know why
[01:44.74]I may be wrong, but I'll try
[01:46.63]Because I'm sick of all the sabotage, where's my female entourage
[01:50.01]Lookin' for some kind of closure, all I'm findin' is Ray Bolger
[01:53.20]Hold up, hell yeah, I'll confess
[01:55.13]'Cause we're dealin' with identity theft
[02:20.80](You need an occupation)
[02:22.57]I don't see why I got to
[02:23.69](You need a boss to please)
[02:25.18]Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, you're late
[02:26.68]Yakety yak, don't look whack, Nellie, you're a heart attack
[02:29.44]Murder, murder, on the wall, who's the butchest one of all
[02:32.10](Where'd you get that vegan dress, a flea market)
[02:33.60]Oops, I forgot, you design for Target
[02:34.65]Shun violence and religion, don't ever play with nuns
[02:37.34]But I punched a man on Broadway just to watch him cry
[02:40.52]Every guy I went to try said I fight him but I can't think why
[02:43.40]Bent unhinged and singed
[02:44.84]I cringe to watch the main event
[02:46.20]But in the end, there's no success like revenge
[02:49.00]Ooh, it leaves you bereft
[02:51.95]Ooh, identity theft
[02:54.66]I may be wrong, I don't know why
[02:57.44]I may be wrong, but I'll try
[02:59.45]Because I'm tired of hypocrisy, is it them or is it me
[03:02.63]If Jesus Christ is left in ruin, Satan, buddy, how you doin'
[03:05.65]Hold 'em up, it's a street arrest
[03:07.79]And we're dealin' with identity theft
[03:10.40]Because I'm tired of being sweet and nice
[03:12.38]**** you once and **** you twice
[03:13.81]Show your passport, get that stamp
[03:15.19]Funny like a **** camp
[03:16.70]Hold 'em up, hell yeah, I'll confess
[03:18.79]'Cause we're dealin with identity theft
