We have reviewed your yellow form
Congratulations! we find you qualified
You have just the right capacity
For putting up with our nonsense
There´s just one thing you´ve got to prove
We know how you must be dishonest and lazy
If you´re so desperate
You actually want to work at this place
You must be guilty (lie detector)
Guilty (lie detector)
Guilty (lie detector)
Guilty ´til you´re proven innocent
These days
Blood pressure clamps around your arms
Now don´t get nervous when we yell in your face
We know you steal- Just who do you screw?
With what?!
With who?!?
Aren´t you a Christian?!?!?
The polygraph-don´t make it move
One little twitch, the anvil drops on you
Don´t matter if you told the truth
We want your facial egg for our file
You must be guilty (lie detector)
Guilty (lie detector)
Guilty (lie detector)
Guilty ´til you´re proven innocent
Guilty-´til proven innocent
Guilty-It says so on your face
Guilty-When you try to find a place to live or a job that pays
Guilty-When you file a complaint against the cop that kicked your face last night
Guilty-It says so on page 3
Guilty-Who´d think a guy like me would plant drugs in your car
Break in your house while you´re asleep
Open your mouth, bet your ass you´re watched
And it´s your word against ours...
Yeah, just because we´re hiring you
That don´t mean we trust you at all
You´ll have to take a test like this
Once or twice EVERY week
We know machines, they make mistakes
Yeah, it´s your word against our dead black box
The machine is always right
´Cause we know how it makes you feel so small
Because you´re guilty (lie detector)
´Til you´re proven innocent these days
No one´s innocent these days
´Cause when you´re innocent it just don´t pay
Congratulations! we find you qualified
You have just the right capacity
For putting up with our nonsense
There´s just one thing you´ve got to prove
We know how you must be dishonest and lazy
If you´re so desperate
