Lyrics
Government Man
I read my evening paper
Watch my evening news;
I cruise the internet,
Download somebody's views;
It's the same old story,
We've heard it all along:
Pay a nickel for some glory,
Pay a dollar for their song.
Thunder in the house
Lighting on the hill;
If the people don't fix it,
You know the devil will.
I had a dream last night,
There were children in the streets,
Carryin' big big guns,
They were buyin' Congress seats.
Thunder in the house?
I had a dream last night
About a government man,
Wants me to think like he does,
I don't think I can.
Got a survey in the mail,
They want to know what I think.
My thinkin' ain't been right,
Must be the water that I drink.
Thunder in the house?
