Story behind the song
Based on the 1980's RPG game "Paranoia"... like, verbatim off the back of the box. Seriously. Check it out some time. It walks tap dances the fine line between tribute and intellectual property theft (the mark of true homage).
Lyrics
CBI Sector is under surveillance
Suspicion of treachery, treason and lechery
All that remains of a paranoid nation that's gone quite insane
Left to keep justice: the brave Troubleshooter
Whose purpose in life is to serve the Computer
In all its decrees and its ways
Upholding its word as Law
Treason does not pay
Serve the Computer
And you may live to serve another day
Treason is everywhere
Serve the Computer
In a world of fear and ignorance
A world we'll never share
Sifting through the population
Finding fiends for termination
Hordes of happy Infrareds
Hold secrets in their heads
Give me a free hand
And a weapon at my side
I'll find, uproot and troubleshoot
There's nowhere they can hide
Stay alert! Trust no one! Keep your laser handy!
Seek and destroy commie infidels
Secret societies hide in citadels
There is only one solution
Summary execution
Give me a free hand
And a weapon at my side
I'll find, uproot and troubleshoot
There's nowhere they can hide
Treason does not pay
Serve the Computer
And you may live to serve another day
