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
They were shocked and they were awed
And they were blown in half
Fun and 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
When it got ugly
We sat around smugly
Because you bought our little joke en masse
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 and 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
A new salute is genuflected
The Gallup poll will be respected
A gallows pole will be erected
And all this will go undetected
And while you all slumbered
We sat and crunched numbers
Of all the casualties 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 and 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...)
It's a powder keg
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah...)

The ads depict a man sitting low in a (Le Corbusier) high armed chair (on the right side of the screen) in front of, and facing, a Bang & Olufsen stereo (the left side of the screen). His hair and necktie, along with the lampshade to the man's right and the martini glass on the low table to the man's left, are being blown back by the tremendous sound from speakers in front of him...The model for the UK (not US) ad campaign was musician Peter Murphy...
