lyrics

I can't tell you who I work for, just the things that I can do
It would drive you to distraction, all the things I know are true
And I'd really like to vent all my frustrations here to you
But the clearance level means I cannot diss,
So all I can say is "You're not cleared for this."

You'd never think that it's all true, the things that I did see
Five billion dollars simply lost...and not by DoD
And don't even get me started on what goes on in IT
Oh hang on, a jail cell's not something I'll risk,
So I'll just drink more 'cause you're not cleared for this.

When the fake news comes up on my screen, it makes my head go boom
But the truth is just restricted to the people in the room
Where I heard it, so I must stay silent in the face of doom
I just filp the bird at my TV like this,
And I scream, "You bastards, you're not cleared for this!"

THIS BRIDGE HAS BEEN REDACTED

I've been at this for twenty years, the things that I could tell
But non-disclosure 'greements mean there is no way in hell
That I'd spill my guts about this if you listened for a spell
So sit back, enjoy your ignorance and bliss,
And thank your gods that you're not cleared for this.

This is my favorite album so far. I don't think I've ever felt as seen as when listening to "Mermaids and Queers." "Slytherins and Misunderstood" finally convinced my mom to embrace her Slytherin identity! loquita08

A great eclectic collection that still feels whole. Leslie Hudson is one of the best singers in the nerd and fannish music scene, as she proves here. Karl-Johan Norén
