lyrics

SS police, arrest this one
He's talking mathematics and science
I think he thinks he's the new Einstein
But he sounds more like a broken typewriter

SS police, arrest this one
Her Hitler hairdo is making me nauseous
Her intentions may be virgin like
But she took me by surprise overnight

Play the record straight
We have a shortness of offices

SS police, arrest this one
Clearing all the icons of our past
Listening to music for the masses
Peacefully mating to attuned rhythms

Take the record straight
We have a shortness of offices
Play the record straight
We have a shortness of offices

Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself
Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself
Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself
Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself
Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself
Before they were towed away

SS police, arrest this one
Trashed my office for the second time
They will stop at nothing: it's just business
But it kills me to read their Voodoo Economics

Play the record straight
We have a shortness of offices
Play the record straight
We have a shortness of offices
Play the record straight
We have a shortness of offices

Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself
Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself
Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself
Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself
Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself
Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself
Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself
