The Government Can
by Tim Hawkins

Album: Pretty Pink Tractor

(Hey everybody! Gather 'round! I'm here to give you
anything you like! You want free college, energy,
mortages?! Whatever you like! You have come to the
right place! Why? I'll tell you why!)

Who can take your money? (Who can take your money?)
With a twinkle in their eye? (With a twinkle in their
eye?)
Take it all away and
Give it to some other guy

Chorus
The Government (the Government)
The Government can! (The Government can!)

Who can tax the Sun rise? (Who can tax the Sun rise?)
Who can tax the trees? (Who can tax the trees?)
Let you run a business and
Collect up all the fees

Chorus
The Government (the Government)
The Government can! (The Government can!)

The Government can 'cause
They mix it up with lies and
Make it all taste good! (Make it all taste good!)
The Government takes
Everything we make
To pay for all of their "sollutions"
Healthcare, Climate Change, Pollution
(Throw away the Constitution)

Who can give a bailout? (Who can give a bailout?)
Tell us to behave? (Tell us to behave?)
Make the Founding Fathers
Roll over in their graves

Chorus
The Government (the Government)
The Government can! (The Government can!)

The Government takes
Everything we make
They're power hungry
And malicious
The economics are fictitious
Soon we'll have to eat our dishes
(Mmm! Delicious!)

Who can be a failure? (Who can be a failure?)
In so many ways? (In so many ways?)
Instead of getting fired, HEY!
We'll give ourselves a raise!

Chorus
The Government (the Government)
The Government can! (The Government can!)

The Government can 'cause
They mix it up with lies and
Make it all taste good! (Make it all taste good!)
And your Uncle Sam can 'cause
He mixes it with lies and
Makes it all taste good! (Makes it all taste good!)

And I feel so good
Because the Government
Says I should! Oh!...
