[Verse]
Poison ivy ain't nothin'
By the time it gets to you
Been stung by forty bees
So the lotion just won't do
Hey big brother don't you have a mother
To wash the blood from your hands
You gotta say, "no way
I ain't gonna play that game"
[Chorus]
You've gotta strike
For a reason
You've gotta strike
For the right
You've gotta strike
For emotion
You've gotta strike
Oh, to be free
'Cause he's a CIA agent
And he's always on your tail
But if you know how to shake him
He won't be your living hell...
[Verse]
Gotta see the money
How will you know it's real
They'll say they love you
Behind your back they'll steal
Hey big brother don't you have a mother
To wash the blood from your hands
You gotta say, "no way
I ain't gonna play that game"
[Chorus]
'Cause he's a CIA agent
And he's always on your tail
So be careful where you're walking
He'll be there
You've gotta strike (strike!)
You've gotta strike (strike!)
You've gotta strike (strike!)
You've gotta strike (strike!)
[Solo]
Poison ivy ain't nothin'

Been stung by forty bees
So the lotion just won't do
Hey big brother don't you have a mother
To wash the blood from your hands
You gotta say, "no way
I ain't gonna play that game"
[Chorus]
You've gotta strike
For a reason
You've gotta strike
For the right
You've gotta strike
For emotion
You've gotta strike
Oh, to be free
'Cause he's a CIA agent
And he's always on your tail
But if you know how to shake him
He won't be your living hell...

'Cause he's a CIA agent

So be careful where you're walking
He'll be there
You've gotta strike (strike!)
You've gotta strike (strike!)
You've gotta strike (strike!)
You've gotta strike (strike!)
