Dead Kennedys - Lie Detector Lyrics
Jello Biafra/East Bay Ray)We have reviewed your yellow formCongratulations!we find you qualifiedYou have just the right capacityFor putting up with our nonsenseThere's just one thing you've got to proveWe know how you must be dishonest and lazyIf you're so desperateYou actually want to work at this placeCHORUSYou must be guilty (lie detector)Guilty (lie detector)Guilty (lie detector)Guilty 'til you're proven innocentThese daysBlood pressure clamps around your armsNow don't get nervous when we yell in your faceWe know you steal-Just who do you screw?With what?!With who?!?Aren't you a Christian?!?!?The polygraph-don't make it moveOne little twitch, the anvil drops on youDon't matter if you told the truthWe want your facial egg for our fileCHORUSGuilty-'til proven innocentGuilty-It says so on your faceGuilty-When you try to find a place to live or a job that paysGuilty-Whe you file a complaint against the cop that kicked your face last nightGuilty-It says so on page 3Guilty-Who'd think a guy like me would plant drugs in your carBreak in your house while you're asleepOpen your mouth, bet your ass you're watchedAnd it's your word against ours...Yeah, just because we're hiring youThat don't mean we trust you at allYOu'll have to take a test like thisOnce or twice EVERY weekWe know machines, they make mistakesYeah, it's your word against our dead black boxThe machine is always right'Cause we know how it makes you feel so smallBecause you're guilty (lie detector)'Til you're proven innocent these daysNo one's innocent these days'Cause when you're innocent it just don't pay
