Red Tape

I got an ETA at JFK
If the CIA says it's AOK
With their red tape
Red tape
And if you do get through
They tell you PDQ
To get B1/B2 you better
Join the queue
Red tape
Always red tape

Red tape dragging me down
Drowning in the Crimson sea
Red tape all around
Red tape dragging me down
Drowning in the Crimson sea
Red tape all around

The faces on TV well it's a mystery
You need some equity or be a VIP
Oh red tape
File it under B
You need an OBE to join the BBC
Buth it don't bother me
'Cause I watch MTV
Oh red tape
Who needs it

Red tape dragging me down
Drowning in the Crimson sea
Red tape all around
Red tape dragging me down
Drowning in the Crimson sea
Red tape all around
