lyrics

We’re not on your side
And we’re not your allies
We’ll be a thorn in both sides
Exposing both the truth and the lies

We’ll read your releases, we’ll look at your plans
We’ll want to know what did you know and when did you know it?
And how much cabbage crossed those greasy little hands
We’re not on your side
We’re looking for both the truth and the lies

We’re not on your side
And we’re not your allies
We’ll be a thorn in both sides
As we expose the truth and the lies

We’ll review redactions
Inadvertent erasure seems to be more common than one would think!
And if there’s a smoking gun, we’re gonna find it
So don't blame us when you find yourself squirming in the clink

We’ll be that thorn in your side
Or you could tell us the truth instead of the lies
