The government controls all our lives 
When they pump us full of lies 
Large corporations are all the same 
What do they think - we have no brains? 

Governments will try 
To make sure we have no private lives 
Governmens will try 
To make us believe their goddamned lies 

What they want is a war 
Down in El Salvador 
They try to make fools of us 
But we won't fall for that again 

[Chorus] 

I just want the companies 
To make a lot of big money 
Since the companies don't really care 
While we're getting killed down there 

[Chorus] 

What is with the president 
And all the other congressmen 
I hope that they can see the bodies fall 
For no real cause at all 

Governments will try to f**k you!!! 
I tried to warn you 
Governments will try to f**k you!!! 
I tried telling you 
Governments will try to f**k you!!! 
I'm not kidding you 
Governments will try to f**k you up!
