Whistle blowers,
Gotta get outta school
They don't want poets

They want pigeons
On a stool


You're examining fossils,
Defending criminals
I'm clock

Watching getting dumb
Photographic models,
A house painted solace

I'm like in the sun

And i give up

Raising your kids america
You treat 'em
Like an obligation

Welcome to the occupation

The devil's in the details,

Devil's in the details
He's got your gold
Watch and chain

The devil's in the details,
Devil's in the details
He's got your gold

Watch and chain

Whistle blowers,

We know how you feel
Public servants,
Surrender their free will

But you can't ban politics
And work in the circus
You have to choose just one


You hold the nail,
I'll swing the hammer

That's how things get done
And goodbye valedictorians,
Goodbye punks

Goodbye valedictorians,
Goodbye punks


And i give up
Raising your kids america
You treat 'em

Like an obligation
Welcome to the occupation


The devil's in the details,
The devil's in the details
He's got your gold watch

And chain
The devil's in the details,
Devil's in the details

Got your gold watch
And chain
