Survey Says - The Dismemberment Plan

Survey says it was a bad idea in the first place

never been that drunk in my life

as I got down on my hands and knees

and asked you to be my husband… wife.

Two days later, still coughing up blood,

I sat down to write this, all I know

with a clearer head and a heart full of lead.

Engine is runnin', power’s goin' down down down

Engine is goin', tires are sinking deep into the ground

Engine is runnin', but the times are going by slower than ever

Engine is goin', crossing still an impossible line

When you know it’s going to work

It makes you, breaks you, all the same now

California doesn’t know what hit it, admit it --

Got them by the balls.

One lost Pinto gets sent to the border in order

All we need now.

Army is runnin', the hands and legs are locked with paper clips.

Army is goin', but the anthrax still burns

Army is goin', but the cavalry have to save the day

Army is runnin', crossing still an impossible line

CHORUS again

One, two, cha-cha-cha!

Survey says it was a test of machismo

survey it was a bunch of nonsense!
