(instrumental intro)
They're gonna work 'til the midnight hour
That's when the law comes crumbling down
They're gonna work till the midnight hour
That's when there's no one else around
They're gonna hit the EPA
And take their funds away
In the midnight hour
They're gonna wait 'til the stars come out
That's when the right wing wants to shine
They're gonna wait 'til the stars come out
When they have malice in their eye
They're gonna cut the federal budget
In secret so you can't judge it
In the midnight hour
(instrumental break)
They're gonna work 'til the midnight hour
That's when the law comes crumbling down
They're gonna work 'til the midnight hour
That's when there's no one else around
They're gonna take the EPA
And take their funds away
In the midnight hour
They're gonna work 'til the midnight hour
That's when the law comes crumbling down
They're gonna work till the midnight hour
That's when there's no one else around
They're gonna hit the EPA
And take their funds away
In the midnight hour
They're gonna wait 'til the stars come out
That's when the right wing wants to shine
They're gonna wait 'til the stars come out
When they have malice in their eye
They're gonna cut the federal budget
In secret so you can't judge it
In the midnight hour
(instrumental break)
They're gonna work 'til the midnight hour
That's when the law comes crumbling down
They're gonna work 'til the midnight hour
That's when there's no one else around
They're gonna take the EPA
And take their funds away
In the midnight hour
