Tuesday - yes, it was Tuesday
  When I saw my congressman coming out of the titty bar
  He didn't look like my congressman, but that's okay
  Nobody really looks like themselves anymore
  I think its got something to do with that crap
  They've been pouring into the water
  I decided it might be wise to follow the congressman
  Just to see what he was up to.
  After all, my tax dollars do pay his salary.
  The congressman got into a taxi, so I hailed a taxi
  Despite the obvious dangers involved
  And the coloured voices in my head began to sing:
    All I gotta do is put my ear to the wall
  And I can hear it all, yes I can hear it all
  All I gotta do is put my ear to the wall
  And I can even hear the little insects crawl
    The congressman was in taxi number 23
  And I was in cab 17
  But numbers are meaningless in this kind of cat and squid game
  My driver was an Aries
  And he laughed when I said "Follow that cab!"
  And he kept laughing until he saw the cold blue steel of Little Elvis
  "Keep your god-damn hands off that radio!" I warned him
  "I work for the government!"
  This is actually a half truth
  I'm really a bike courier
  But I make a lot of deliveries to government offices.
  That's where I heard about the cheese.
  And the coloured voices in my head kept singing:
    All I gotta do is put my ear to the wall
  And I can hear it all, yes I can hear it all
  All I gotta do is put my ear to the wall
  And I can even hear the little insects crawl
    There's this super secret government program called
  "Operation the cheese stands alone"
  It's the congressmen's pet project
  They claim that they're giving surplus cheese to the needy
  I, of course, have my suspicions
  After 15 very quiet minutes
  The congressman's cab pulled up outside a warehouse
  I had the Aries circle around the building and drop me off.
  He seemed to be grasping the importance of my mission
  Since he said I didn't have to pay him.
  As long as I promised to stay very far away from him and his taxi.
  I swear, some people just don't want to get involved.
    All I gotta do is put my ear to the wall
  And I can hear it all, yes I can hear it all
  All I gotta do is put my ear to the wall
  And I can even hear the little insects crawl
    So I walked into that cold dark place
  Little Elvis drawn and ready for action
  I too was ready -
  Ready for the moment when I would be a real American
    All I gotta do is bang my head on the wall
  And I can have it all, yes I can have it all
  All I gotta do is bang my head on the wall
  And I can even make the little insects crawl
