[Verse 1]

Pigs, they tend to wiggle when they walk

The infrastructure rots

And the owners hate the jocks

With their agents and their dates

If the signatures are checked

You'll just have to wait

And we're counting up the instants that we save

Tired nation so depraved

From the cheap seats, see us

Wave to the camera

It took a giant ramrod

To raze the demon settlement

[Pre-Chorus]

But high-ho, Silver, ride

High-ho, Silver, ride

Take another ride to see me home

[Chorus]

Listen to me

I'm on the stereo, stereo

Oh, my baby, baby, baby, baby, babe

Gave me malaria, hysteria

[Verse 2]

What about the voice of Geddy Lee

How did it get so high?

I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?

I know him and he does

And you're my fact-checkin' cuz (Aww)

[Verse 3]

Well, focus on the quasar in the mist

The Kaiser has a cyst

And I'm a blank want list

The qualms you have and if they stick

They will drown you in a crick

In the neck of a woods

That was populated by

Tired nation on the fly

Everybody knows advice

That was given out for free

Lots of details to discern

Lots of details

[Pre-Chorus]

But high-ho, Silver, ride

High-ho, Silver, ride

Takes another ride to make me

[Chorus]

Oh, get off the air

I'm on the stereo, stereo

My baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe

Gave me malaria, hysteria
