1.	REDACTED 06:53	lyrics
Operator operator My handler is manhandling me Stopping Bob Starts with Jane The solution to the situation in Bob Lies in part in Jane Operator operator operator Operator operator Just dropped the kids off In the desert With a helmet and a phrase-book Foreign relationship status: Frisky Striking Bob Starts with Jane Striking Bob won't end the Bobness in Bob But might prevent the eruption of Janeness in Jane
2.	Rich Kids of Raytheon 02:18	lyrics
Daddy's building rockets And I'm playing tennis for you An envelope on Friday A clusterfuck on Saturday A spy in my body My heart in an acid bath in Guantánamo Bay Frisk me Cause I'm frisky And I got a flight to catch If I pack enough metal Will it get me a grope? In this economic climate I think we were made for each other Daddy's wreaking havoc And I'm rocking first class for you Lick my algorithm From black-site party To off-shore orgy to coup Frisk me Cause I'm frisky And I got a flight to catch I like long walks on the breach My hard-drive packed with meat Give me VIP From that side of beef On security In the dog-and-glove zone The suit maketh the clone Do I give him the tongue Or the Tomahawk Or both? I'm just waiting for some sweetheart contract And a tall, dark and handsome task-force Someone to arsehole a third-world nation with If it's not deniable, we can always outsource If I said I wanted your precious bodily fluids Would you understand my foreign policy is a teabag I only got eight arms to love you It be cosy and secure Just you And me And the NSA And they can see your cock
3.	a bit of fun, the swines... 04:28	lyrics
Some girls are weirder than other girls Some want to seek the life-essence Some want to bomb Iraq with you inside Do you recognise my voice? This is not an exercise Close your eyes, I'll be there before you can say Coalition I'm keen on a coalition too A thought-through policy How'd you come up with that one? Why'd you think I'm calling? Just to say hello? Let me warm up those frozen assets Slip into something less diplomatic Cue violins, white phosphorous We're not going soft on it Public opinion is public opinion But look at me getting sweaty Talking to my handler's man I will be with you, whatever Civilian casualties in pencil and The newscaster dressed in red You give war crimes a bad name Here's an IOU for a good time I got the fundraisers The number-crunchers Now feed me Now feed me Just barrel that baby in I will be with you, whatever And you can take that to the fucking bank
4.	Kiss My Asset 02:01	lyrics
Who’s my passport? Who’s my passport? Who’s my passport? And: What’s my password? What’s my password? What’s my password? CIA NSA NIFOC CIA INT C:NOYB CIA EKIA OR CIV? I CAN’T DECIDE CIA BOHICA THE LEAK COULD HAVE COME FROM ANYWHERE CIA AMF YOYO CIA I YES I THINK CIA I YES SIR I THINK CIA I YES I YES I THINK IT’S INITIALS AND CASH ALL THE WAY DOWN
5.	Probable Cause 08:28

about
