we are the government
Singer:ray stevens
i saw that on saturday night live
how dumb do you think i am?
stimulus check? why didn't you say so?
we'll tell you what to do
we'll show you how to live your life
raise your kids and treat your wife
and we're here to help you
you'll see the benefit someday
and besides it's ours anyway
we'll tell you what to eat
and you must avoid red meat
in time you'll love how tofu tastes
and we'll tell you what to eat
there's a vicious rumor floating around
and for that we'll sell our soul
we have limousines and jets
and we know what's best for you
your health care's in our hands
you might have heard we've started what we call the kevorkian clan
because if you do you'll die real quick
and your health care's in our hands
now this is a free country
you can eat hamburgers galore
but of course we can't provide your health insurance
but the laws are not for us
you have the healthcare plan we say
but you can't expect us to live that way
because we are the government
and the laws are not for us
hungry? what happened to your gruel? have you already eaten your gruel?
you only get one bowl a day you know
you don't want to get fat!
cold? no coats! haven't you heard of global warming? be patient!
i'm bleeding! i had an accident. an accident? well what did you do with your band-aid. we gave you one last year!
