Here's the studio version:
We have two live versions as well. This one is audio-only:
And this clip shows the band playing. It also includes a short intro in which Lindley explains what the song is about. (That's right; every now and then we feature a song that is actually about something!)
And so they sent you to Afghanistan
To have you workin' for their master plan
I think that may be for the CIA
And when you're through they're gonna put you away
They wanna put you in an institution
And put a wire up into your brain
Because you know about the revolution
That kind of thing'll drive a boy insane
Better talk to the lawyer
Professional liar
Gotta talk to the lawyer
Professional liar
They do maneuvers at the borderline
Somebody's eaten up from time to time
And when you want to know the reason why
I'm sorry sir, there's no rеply
You're on a mission for the Presidеnt
You got to bury all the evidence
You say you like it but you really don't
He said he'll cover but you know he won't
Better talk to the lawyer
Professional liar
Your better talk to the lawyer
Professional liar
Somebody called me just the other day
I said "Who is it?" but he wouldn't say
I think he's workin' for the secret service
Or maybe workin' for the FBI
I don't like it when they do me like that
I don't like it when they do me that way
Better talk to the lawyer
Professional lawyer man
I better talk to the lawyer
Professional lawyer man
Better talk to the lawyer
Professional lawyer man
I better talk to the lawyer
Professional lawyer man
