Jello Biafra/East Bay Ray)



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



CHORUS

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



CHORUS



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-Whe 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
