Guest of the Government

So you've tied your colours to the mast Geld up the white bag with the highest flag Lock the bathroom door, boy, have a blast Use the flush to justify the aftermath (The Aftermath) Oh and look now you're the guest of the government Oh caught out peering over the parapet Look now you're a guest of the government So you've tied your colours to the tree Try and bat back question with certainty Don't forget your name though that's key Let the flock take stock and curb the misery Oh and look now you're the guest of the government Oh caught out peering over the parapet Look now you're a guest of the government Oh and look now you're the guest of the government Oh caught out peering over the parapet Look now you're a guest of the government Look it's the eager butterflies and the fashionably late The tug between those who to drink and those who create By the end of the night it's all been granted the old news shrug And we all fall gently in a comfortable hug And with both eyes on the watch and a trap to the Baltic state And the love slowly conquers like rust on a gate Though the surface can scratch you and the colour can fade It's the feeling that starts in the tips of your toes as we rise up again Oh and look now you're the guest of the government Oh caught out peering over the parapet Look now you're a guest of the government Oh and look now you're the guest of the government Oh caught out peering over the parapet Look now you're a guest of the government
