Lee Bains + The Glory Fires
Lizard People
[Intro]
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Lizard people

[Verse 1]
Interstate rumble, dashboard rattle, talk radio
Smoke spinnin' in the van like a twister
Tongue spinnin' in his head like a weevil
Spinnin' past desolated Cotton Belt towns
Endless rows of the Big Mules' untaxed pines
Blamin' it on the Hebrews and the Papists
And the Blacks and the commies and the lizard people

[Verse 2]
The latest blue-eyed Northern swindle with a trap beat
Rattlin' the tags of a passin' German whip
I ask him, "What's it like to have the world steal your sound?"
He's like, "Dawg, that shit is e-evi-i-i-i-il"
He wipes the sweat from his phone, shows me how the
Satanists and Masons got the whole game beat
We keep diggin' that trench in the South Atlanta heat
Like we're hidin' from the lizard people

[Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Lizard people
Na-na-na-na-na
Lizard people
Na-na-na-na-na
Lizard people
Na-na-na-na-na
Lizard people
[Interlude]
In that garden, tried to buy power with bliss
Been liable to play lizard ever since

[Verse 3]
We've got the gold dome surrounded
Yonder stands a bronzed Tom Watson, that old snake
Sent to Atlanta by rent-gouged sons of slaves and serfs
Hungerin' for freedom, prayin' for upheaval
But forked-tongued CEOs and Grand Wizards slithered
In his pocket, hissin', "Throw them off our scent, we got you
Sic the crackers on the Blacks and Jews
Any heart can ooze cold blood like the lizard people"

[Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Lizard people
Na-na-na-na-na
Lizard people
Na-na-na-na-na
Lizard people
Na-na-na-na-na
Lizard people

[Outro]
Everybody's good, everybody's evil
But why does it pay to play like lizard people?
Everybody's good, everybody's evil
But why does it pay to play like lizard people?
Everybody's good, everybody's evil
But why does it pay to play like lizard people?
Everybody's good, everybody's evil
Why do we let it pay to play like lizard people?
