Working Undercover for the Man by They Might Be Giants Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been working hard
Trying to sing and play guitar
Growing out my hair
And practicing my stare

[Chorus]
Paid to fake it in a traveling band
And I'm working undercover for the man

[Post-Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la

[Verse 2]
Planning midnight raids
On our unsuspecting fans
While the roadies rig
The video surveillance van

[Chorus]
Paid to fake it in a traveling band
And I'm working undercover for the man
[Post-Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la

[Acoustic Guitar]

[Verse 3]
I've been working hard
Practicing to sing and play guitar
Growing out my hair
And working on my stare

[Chorus]
Paid to fake it in a traveling band
And I'm working undercover for the man

[Outro]
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
