Ted Leo and The Pharmacists - C.I.A. lyrics

Sometimes the rain upon the sea Can make the gray look green to me And when I'm into all that gray I'll make the morning last all day See, I've been down to New South Wales Both my brothers been in jail Ah, but my sister, she got free Now she's across the great gray sea Now I've been hard, too hard to find But there's no paranoia in my mind There have been no comrades dropping dimes It's just I'm working overtime And I know that in the end I'll come clean to all my friends 'Cause we all know we all have sinned And we all know we're going to again And when I was late in checking in I couldn't say where I'd been Well, I bet you knew, 'cause you sometimes do And here we go 'round again See, Molly always knows just what to bring When Reb's in town, she always rings You want to know what Tommy has to say? Is Terry feeling better these days? You can ask, take a look We're all pretty open books What I stand for, I mostly stand behind What I am, I mostly can't hide And when we were late in getting in We couldn't say where we'd been So maybe you knew, like you sometimes do I've got need to pretend Ah, but C.I.A. Only you know what you've done Oh, C.I.A. Only you know what you've done My father works from 6 to 8 And he ain't given up his faith And so I haven't given up myself Though I sure could use a little help Now it don't take the writing of a song To tell you what I was doing in '01 But what I fear that I might never see Is where you were back in '73 And why Mal, he ain't around Or if Everado was ever found Why Frankie says that history's race is run When we all know it's just erased by those who've won And when I was late in weighing in I couldn't say where I'd been And you thought you knew like you sometimes do But you got it wrong again Oh, but C.I.A. Only you know what you've done Oh, C.I.A. Only you know what you've done Oh, C.I.A. Only you know what you've done Oh, C.I.A. Only you know what you've done Only you know what you've done Only you know what you've done Only you know what you've done Only you know what you've done
