The Government's Got You 2004
(John Raymond Pollard)
2004-09-13

The government's got you
You just lost your right to die,
your right to live, your right to decide.
The government's got you.

Welcome to the modern age of tyranny.
Thought control as images on your TV
shape the very texture of the world we see.
You'd better speak up before it's too late.
And get out and vote and take back the state.

The government's got you
You just lost your right to die,
Right to live, your right to decide.
The government's got you.

Long Dong Silver model of morality
sits in judgment on the court we call Supreme.
Meanwhile, tyranny of the majority,
proposed into law in state after state
denies human rights and promulgates hate.

VP caused a crisis with your energy.
Insider trading President went walkin' free.
An ex-exec from Enron runs the US Army.
You'd better speak up before it's too late.
And get out and vote and take back the state.

The government's got you
You just lost your right to die,
your right to live, your right to decide.
The government's got you.

Think of Jeffersonian democracy;
and of fundamentalist theocracy?
If the later choice is not your cup of tea,
you'd better wake up before it's too late
and get out and vote and take back the state, because
The government's got you

You'd better wake up before it's too late.
We're losing the line between church and state.
