Fun & Games Lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

We sent in the army, they sounded alarms, we 

Saw it coming from a mile away 

We kept it off radar 'cause we had to say our 

Intentions were to save the day 

Why did you fail to see? 

It was a gag, it was all for a laugh 

And they were shocked and they were awed 

And they were blown in half 

Fun & games, we were just pulling legs 

We knew this barrel of fun would be a powder keg 

We kept it all long-range and made a regime change 

You'd have thought it would have been a gas 

But when it got ugly, we sat around smugly 

Because you bought our little joke en masse

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Don't look at me that way 

It was a gag, it was all for a laugh 

We knew your sons and daughters 

Would be blown in half 

Fun & games, we were just pulling legs 

We knew this barrel of fun would be a powder keg 

Put a smile on, we're the ones that you selected 

Leave that dial, son because we just got re-elected 

In a while our 'Bill of Rights' will be rejected 

And all the blame will be deflected 

The forests will be unprotected 

The nation's poor will be neglected 

Creation myth is resurrected 

The new salute is genuflected 

The gallop poll will be respected 

Gallows pole will be erected 

And all this will go undetected 

Photos 

And while you all slumbered 

We sat and crunched numbers 

Of all the causalities we could afford 

There's no need to draft them 

You could hear us laugh then 

The poor and black, all need the room and board 

Did I say that out loud? 

It was a gag, it was all for a laugh 

And now our very nation has been blown in half 

Fun & games, we were just pulling legs 

We knew this barrel of fun would be a powder keg 

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah 

We knew this barrel of fun would be a powder keg 

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah 

Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's a powder keg 

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah 

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah 

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah 

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
