Government Song
Cage The Elephant
Perfect Confusion (2005)

Hissing, spitting rain
The sky lights up again
The clouds they crack tonight
There's thunder in the distance
Just sitting on my couch
Inside I feel the sun
Shaken by a storm
Frustration can't explain

It's the government
Twisted politicians
I feel paranoid, but I can't just run away
Oh, we've got to kiss the twilight
It's time we face these flames
Before madness shrieks again
It's our freedom that must be saved

Demons in disguise
Tenders of the light
They'll play a pretty tune for you
To mask their motivation
And now they're off to sav the world, my friend
Their true agenda out of sight
Liquid gold is in the holy land
And Cheney'd like to take a bite

It's the government
Twisted politicians
I feel paranoid, but I can't just run away
Oh, we've got to kiss the twilight
It's time we face these flames
Before madness shrieks again
It's our freedom that must be saved

Lying to risk your life
For the worthless dollar bill
And they'll gladly send you off to war
To reach their own objective
See, while your family lives again
Now reborn to corporate giants
What puppet masters they've become
They've bought the world to keep us quiet

It's the government
Twisted politicians
I feel paranoid, but I can't just run away
Oh, we've got to kiss the twilight
It's time we face these flames
Before madness shrieks again
It's our freedom that must be saved

It's the government
Fuck your twisted politicians
I feel paranoid, but I can't just run away
Oh, we've got to kiss the twilight
It's time we face these flames
Before madness shrieks again
It's our freedom that must be saved
