They Might Be Giants
Black Ops (Alternative Version)
[Verse 1]
Black ops, black ops
A holiday for secret cops
Black ops, black ops
Dropping presents from the helicopter

[Chorus 1]
It's been a long year, we've been so far from home
Too many people here, here come the drones
We take the best of it and make a mess of it
Ripping up some lawn, and then we're gone

[Verse 2]
Black sites, black sites
A thousand miles from day or night
Black sites, black sites
The story will remain unwritten

[Chorus 2]
Before we make you gone, you'd best be running on
Stick to the music, child
Don't get us riled
Hey, there's a spot we missed, I see a Communist
And there's another one and his dumb son

[Verse 3]
Black ops, black ops
Little vials filled with knock-out drops
Black ops, black ops
Maybe leave you in your old gym locker
[Guitar and Kaoss Pad Solo]

[Verse 4]
Black ops, black ops
A thousand miles from day or night
Black ops, black ops
A story told before rewriting

[Chorus 3]
Hey, there's a passport here, but it could disappear
Tarmac to landing pad, don't look so sad
We fly to Amsterdam, and in a little bit
We'll sing our special song and this is it

[Outro]
You'll be standing when the music stops
We're not worrying about the optics
