LYRICS FOR "The Government Darling"

Well, he's down with the Capitalist system
But he lost a lot, those Capitalists
He's read you every book that you'd ever list him
Now he'll put you back up there on your shelf

You're the government, darling
You're sick being yourself
Yeah, you're sick being yourself
You're the government, darling
You're sick being yourself
Yeah, you're sick through yourself

You're the government, darling
The government, darling
You're sick being yourself
You're sick being yourself
You're the government, darling
You're sick being your

What would the powers that be do without you, dad?
We'd probably live among the Socialists
So man, don't you go and deny it
'Cause lying is fit to be so worse for your health

You're the government, darling
You're sick being yourself
Yeah, you're sick being yourself
You're the government, darling
You're sick being yourself
Yeah, you're sick through yourself

You're the government, darling
The government, darling
You're sick being yourself
The f****** government, darling
The government, darling
The government, hey

You're the government, darling
You're sick through yourself now
You're sick through yourself
You're the government, darling
You're sick through yourself now
You know, you know what I'm saying is

The government, darling
The government, darling
The government, darling
The government, darling
The government, darling
The government
