Bad Religion - You Are (The Government)

hey sit down and listen and they'll tell you when you're wrong
eradicate but vindicate as "progress" creeps along
puritan work ethic maintains its subconscious edge
as old glory maintains your consciousness

there's a loser in the house
and a puppet on a stool
and a crowded way of life
and a black reflecting pool
and as the people bend
the moral fabric dies
then country can't pretend
to ignore its people's cries

you are the governmnet
you are jurisprudence
you are the volition
you are jurisdiction
and i make a difference too
