lyrics

Walked out of the house and I could not believe my eyes
Another weep fest - propaganda in disguise
I gazed in disbelief and shook my head in shame
These blatant tactics give our city a bad name

Who wants to play a game outside with me
We'll play Pin The Tail On The Donkey
'til the cows come home

I was never good with metaphors when I was young
But I know enough to pick out that kind of dung
This game was never fair, the fix was clearly in
I kicked your ass off but the teacher says you win

Who wants to play a game outside with me
We'll play Pin The Blame On The Donkey
'til the cows come home

You must be cheating - we're on to you
How could you deny it? You're lying through your teeth!

No way
Don't do this to us
That's it
You forced our hand

As we play another game
(I still can't catch a break)
Once again the scales just tip your way
(I still can't catch a break)
But I've no use to complain
(I still can't catch a break)
'Cause I know you can't play fair
(This game was never fair)

And we'll never deal with you again
Your time as king of the hill will soon end
