our grimy government

 

 our grimy government

 

 our grimy government

 takes all it can steal

 and stuffs one pocket

 denying the thievery is real

 

 our grimy government

 

 these vulgar things it does

 without love it fails

 

 our grimy government bleeds

 children in jails

 while taking love

 from prepubescent girls

 

 our grimy government

 

 these vulgar things it does

 without love it fails

 

 our grimy government supports

 tyrants with tails

 squashing free men

 whose causes it fails

 

 our grimy government

 

 these vulgar things it does

 without love it fails

 

 our grimy government drops

 bombs on blameless boats

 filled with lost fishermen

 they kill twice without hope

 

 our grimy government

 

 these vulgar things it does

 without love it fails

 

 our grimy government writes

 checks it can’t cash

 and runs out of town

 fast, fast, fast

 

 our grimy government

 

 these vulgar things it does

 without love it fails

 

 our grimy government says

 we are to blame

 then gilds its walls

 without justice or shame

 

 our grimy government

 

 these vulgar things it does

 without love it fails

 

 our grimy government flies

 blasphemous airlines

 sky-riding for free

 only the blind can’t see

 

 our grimy government

 

 these vulgar things it does

 without love it fails

 

 our grimy government believes

 things no one sees

 saying falsity is real

 driving truth to its knees

 

 our crime-filled government

 

 these vulgar things he blasts

 millions pray he won’t long last
