Tom Flannery Government Man Lyrics

I'm a government mantake what I can
part of a master plan
and I'm holier than....you
I'm a profiteer
work the cashier
and I lead the cheers
then I disappear...on you
Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can
Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can
I'm a warmonger
but I much prefer
that you defer
and concur...to fight for me
Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can
Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can
Give me the time and I can sell

that wearing a flag on your lapel
means you won't go to hell
things are going quite well Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can
Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can
Keep you dumb
carrying a big ol' gun
keep 'em on the run
we won we won we won we won!...didn't we?
Give me your tired your poor en-masse
I'll send 'em to patriotism class
wipe graffiti off the overpass
and keep the liberals off the grass
I'm a child of God
from sacred sod
and I'll poke and prod
and pray and trod....all over you
Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can
Government man
Government man
if I can't do it
Jesus can
