They Might Be Giants – The Shadow Government Lyrics 18 years ago
I don't know about anyone else, but to me this song seems to have some anti-government themes.

"Sifting through the confetti,
I picked up my broken phone
Looked in the crack
Somebody waved back
Just sitting on their somebody throne"

and

"Crawling out of the flophouse,
I saw the mayor stealing my junk
I doth protest, citizen's arrest
Now my body's in his trunk"

make me feel like he is talking about either government corruption or something along those lines. If this is completely wrong, someone else post please, haha. I may be getting the wrong message from this song lol.
