This song is based on the game "Illuminati: New World Order" from Steve
Jackson Games. There are nine Illuminati (groups which are the ultimate
Secret Masters of various conspiracies) in the game, and each gets a verse.

Old-Time Illuminati
Lyrics: Gary McGath, Copyright 1997
Music: "Old-Time Religion"

Chorus:
  Give me the Illuminati,
  Give me the Illuminati,
  Give me the Illuminati,
  The Grand Conspiracy!

The Bavarian 'luminati
Are both powerful and haughty
And their schemes are really naughty,
So they're good enough for me!

In the sky the UFO's
Always keep us on our toes
With strange plots that no one knows,
And they're good enough for me!

(Chorus) 

In Bermuda the Triangle
Can unravel any tangle
As their enemies they mangle,
So they're good enough for me!

The Discordian Society
Just loves to deal in weirdness,
And of course, their verse won't rhyme or scan,
But it's good enough for me!

Fear the Servants of Cthulhu;
He'll devour each white and Zulu
From the poles to Honolulu,
So he's good enough for me!

(Chorus)

The Society of Assassins
Can control fanatic passions
In  the most amazing fashions,
So they're good enough for me!

If you program for the Network
All your evil schemes may yet work,
And they won't take bayonet work,
So it's good enough for me!

(Chorus)

When you serve the Shangri-La men,
You will dine on rice and ramen,
And to peace you will say "Amen!"
So they're good enough for me!

You must know the Gnomes of Zurich
Say there's no such thing as "too rich,"
So come join the proud and few rich.
They are good enough for me!

(Chorus)
