Oh government! Oh government! Why can't you keep us free?
Isn't that your purpose, to protect life and liberty?
 

Lately I've been looking 'round and something just ain't right.
You keep stirring things around the world and looking for a fight.
 

Your police force has been growing and your prisons are packed full.
Our kids are taught pure nonsense when we send them off to school.
 

You want the population on prescription medicine.
But lock up those who use cannabis like it's some sort of sin.
 

Your bankers print more money out of nothing but thin air.
There is no transparency, but no one seems to care.
 

We are forced to pay taxes to fund our subjugation.
And If we try to speak with you, you're always on vacation.
 

The people protest peacefully in spite of all their rage.
Then public servants come out in droves and put them in a cage.
 

Your media is lying and trying to instill fear.
Division is the tactic that we so often hear.
 

You say you represent the people in all the things you do.
But most of us are catching on that this is far from true.
