Might as well not build it up They’ll only pull it down.
They make their minds up secretly on the other side of town.
You’ve done your best to survive the test. You had some fish to fry.
You paid the cost, now just get lost, the heat is up too high.

If you want to be heard then here’s the word, better get your factions right.
If the offer was right, they’d keep it quiet,
push it through (kick you in the head) in the middle of the night

cause they’ve got thick heads in the Government
They’ve got thin skins in the Government
They’ve got big boots in the Government
They’re spending all your money.They’re the Government.

They keep it close, control the press
They’re scared of what you’ll say
They close their ears and watch like hawks and wait for you to go away
Nothings left and nothings right. Take a stand if you want a fight

cause they’ve got thick heads in the Government
They’ve got thin skins in the Government
They’ve got big boots in the Government
They’re spending all your money.They’re the Government.
