Operation Staple Gun

[Intro]
[Verse]
Checked the perimeter, adjusted the clip
Stapler in the pocket of my denim hip
Gary’s watching reruns on a grainy screen
I’m the fastest phantom that he’s never seen
My sneakers are silent on the linoleum floor
I’m the teenage shadow by the exit door
Got a stack of manifestos in a plastic bag
I’m the only rebel with a laundry tag
[Pre-Chorus]
Around the flyer, around the board
Around the flyer, around the board
Around the flyer, around the board
Until the message can’t be ignored
Around the flyer, around the board
Around the flyer, around the board
[Chorus]
Operation Glitter-Glue
Coming for a town near you
Xerox dreams in black and white
Hidden in the broad daylight
Yeah, I’m smug and I’m small
Writing on the town hall wall
Tiny triumph, major glee
No one’s gonna capture me
[Hook]
Staple, staple, slide
Nowhere left to hide
Staple, staple, slide
Keep the toner on your side
[Verse]
Leo at the library gave the secret nod
Between 'How-to-Garden' and 'The Wrath of God'
I slipped 'Suburban Void' in the local news
Next to 'Yoga Classes' and 'The Sunday Blues'
His glasses are foggy and his vest is tan
He’s the only ally in my master plan
We don’t even talk, we just trade the ink
Faster than a security guard can even blink
[Pre-Chorus]
Around the flyer, around the board
Around the flyer, around the board
Around the flyer, around the board
Until the message can’t be ignored
Around the flyer, around the board
Around the flyer, around the board
[Chorus]
Operation Glitter-Glue
Coming for a town near you
Xerox dreams in black and white
Hidden in the broad daylight
Yeah, I’m smug and I’m small
Writing on the town hall wall
Tiny triumph, major glee
No one’s gonna capture me
[Bridge]
Toy piano goes click-clack-ding
Hear the cassette tape start to sing
Warble in the rhythm of a broken toy
Destroying the peace of the local boy
I’m petty and I’m restless and I’m bored to death
Saving all my secrets for a bated breath
Is it art or is it just a mess?
I’m a genius in a thrift-store dress
[Break]
[Chorus]
Operation Glitter-Glue
Coming for a town near you
Xerox dreams in black and white
Hidden in the broad daylight
Yeah, I’m smug and I’m small
Writing on the town hall wall
Tiny triumph, major glee
No one’s gonna capture me
[Post-Chorus]
Staple, staple, slide
Nowhere left to hide
Staple, staple, slide
Keep the toner on your side
[Verse]
Deadpan delivery, I’m basically a spy
Don’t mind the glitter in my left eye
It’s a manifesto, it’s a work of art
Stuck it to the flyer for the mini-mart
Gary’s waking up, I can hear his chair
But I’m already gone like the morning air
If they find the stash, they can keep the change
Everything I do is a little bit strange
If they try to catch me, I’m about to—
[Outro]
