The Government Can

Hey everybody! Gather 'round! I'm here to give you anything you like! You want a car, money, mortages?! Whatever you like! You have come to the right place! Why? I'll tell you why!)

Who can take your money? (Who can take your money?)
With a twinkle in their eye? (With a twinkle in their eye?)
Take it all away and
Give it to some other guy

[Chorus]
The Government (the Government)
The Government can! (The Government can!)

Who can watch the Sun rise? (Who can watch the Sun rise?)
Who can touch the trees? (Who can touch the trees?)
Get you ot of business and
Collect up all your fees

[Chorus]

The Government can 'cause
They mix up a batch of lies and
Make it all taste good! (Make it all taste good!)

The Government takes
Everything we make
To pay for all of their "sollutions"
Healthcare, Climate Change, Pollution
(Throw away the Constitution)

Who can give a bailout? (Who can give a bailout?)
Tell us to behave? (Tell us to behave?)
Make the Founding Fathers
Roll in their graves

[Chorus]

The Government takes
Everything we make
They're power hungry
And malicious

The economy is vicious
Soon we'll have to eat our dishes
Mmm! Delicious!

Who can be a failure? (Who can be a failure?)
In so many ways? (In so many ways?)
Standing in the fire, HEY!
We'll give ourselves a raise!

[Chorus]

The Government can 'cause
He mixes up a batch of lies and
Make it all taste good! (Make it all taste good!)
And your Uncle Sam can 'cause
He mixes up a batch of lies and
Makes it all taste good! (Makes it all taste good!)

And I feel so good
Because the Government
Says I should! Oh!...
