Citizen C.I.A.
Dropkick Murphys · Live On Landsdowne Boston, Ma [2010]
College graduates, apply today...
Come decimate dictatorships and overthrow regimes
In exotic far-off places the vacation of your dreams
You'll assemble puppet governments and play the hand of God
We're an equal-opportunity crime fighting squad
[Chorus]
Citizen C.I.A.
Citizen C.I.A.
Now I've trained an army for my kids to fight one day
We'll teach them all of our secrets and then we'll walk away
We're knee-deep in guerillas, yeah the party never stops
United States of America undercover cop
[Chorus]
Five weeks paid vacation and a 401K
[Chorus]
You said I'd be working with Sidney
Man that sucks!
