Identity Theft - Nellie McKay

Because I'm tired of maturity airport insecurity
Runnin' from the thought police fightin' with the go-betweens
Hold up let me steal a breath'
Cause we're dealin' with identity theft
You need an education
I don't see why
I got to
You need a good degree
As to assimilate
So little time so much to be bored by
If no one trod along
Harvard lawn no one'd make a nuclear bomb
They don't teach you how to care empathisin' if you dare
Euthanize your sense of fair play better to obey
No child is free oh why it's queasy to see
Is that an elementary or a penitentiary
Huh geez get off my back beat it take it to town man
Idiots go to college to get dumbed down
Ooh it leaves you bereft
Ooh identity theft
I may be wrong
I don't know why
I may be wrong but
I'll tryBecause
I'm sick of the insanity watchin' horny manatee
Feelin' like a libertine dealin' with the death machine
Hold 'em up it's a street arrest
And we're dealin' with identity theft
You need a publication
I don't see why
I got to
You need a press release
As to assimilate
Journo-fascist profiteers pornotastic pioneers
Bonbonbastic puppeteers get away from me
How can you write what we read that ain't my reality
You disabuse humanity humility and fealty
Oh you guess you got an edge
Hiding your hedge from the
FedsPuttin' down the little veg
Ignorance is a right not a privilege
I'm finished done and had it
And while you f**ks are at it
As far as
I'm concerned
Pluto's still a planet
Ooh you die a quick death
Ooh identity theft
I may be wrong
I don't know why
I may be wrong but
I'll tryBecause
I'm sick of all the sabotage where's my female entourage
Lookin' for some kind of closure all
I'm findin' is
Ray Bolger
Hold up hell yeah
I'll confess'
Cause we're dealin' with identity theft
You need an occupation
I don't see why
I got to
You need a boss to please
Blah blah blah blah blah you're late
Yakety yak don't look whack
Nellie you're a heart attack
Murder murder on the wall who's the butchest one of all
Where'd you get that vegan dress a flea market
Oops I forgot you design for
TargetShun violence and religion don't ever play with nuns
But I punched a man on
Broadway just to watch him cry
Every guy
I went to try said
I fight him but
I can't think why
Bent unhinged and singed
I cringe to watch the main event
But in the end there's no success like revenge
Ooh it leaves you bereft
Ooh identity theft
I may be wrong
I don't know why
I may be wrong but
I'll tryBecause
I'm tired of hypocrisy is it them or is it me
If Jesus Christ is left in ruin
Satan buddy how you doin'
Hold 'em up it's a street arrest
And we're dealin' with identity theft
Because I'm tired of bein' sweet and nice
F**k you once and f**k you twice
Show your passport get that stamp funny like a
Nazi campHold 'em up hell yeah
I'll confess'
Cause we're dealin' with identity theft
