lyrics

Only a Test

It’s only a quiz
You won’t be profiled or graded
But know we’ll keep
The info just in case
We’re counting on you
To approve of the screening
So don’t be fooled
By another man’s dream it’s only a test…

It’s only a test
We want to check your reaction
When things screw up
We will be ready for action
It’s only a drill
We like to move you like cattle
So when the time comes
We can herd you into battle it’s only a test… it’s only a test…

And it’s red for fire and blue for crime
Don’t try to read between the lines
Check your tube for the latest colour
About that pill just ask your doctor
It’s only test…

Don’t be lured by the voice of the traitor
Hear the Lord, tell on your neighbor
Don’t be caught in these pinky tales
The girly boys are going straight to hell

It’s only a test
We’re in charge of security
So when things blow up
We pick and choose the enemy
You may be scared
It’s normal in these dangerous times
Saddam is dead
We’re making sure he won’t come back it’s only a test… it’s only a test…

You got to realize
We’re in charge of your lives
We control your fate
With us you can be safe
A few will have to die
To protect our supplies
For if we trash the Earth
For money it’s worth
