Government Man Lyrics

I'm a government man
take what I can
part of a master plan
and I'm holier than....you

I'm a profiteer
work the cashier
and I lead the cheers
then I disappear...on you

Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can
Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can

I'm a warmonger
but I much prefer
that you defer
and concur...to fight for me

Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can
Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can

Give me the time and I can sell
that wearing a flag on your lapel
means you won't go to hell
things are going quite well

Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can
Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can

Keep you dumb
carrying a big ol' gun
keep 'em on the run
we won we won we won we won!...didn't we?

Give me your tired your poor en-masse
I'll send 'em to patriotism class
wipe graffiti off the overpass
and keep the liberals off the grass

I'm a child of God
from sacred sod
and I'll poke and prod
and pray and trod....all over you

Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can
Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can
