Life can only get better
All you need to do is fall in love
Everyone else has fun but you

Buy that fun you'll fit in too

Dance your problems away

GOVERNMENT MUSIC
Cheap escape to that mind-control beat
GOVERNMENT MUSIC

Mellow out-Life's too hard
You don't even want to think


See the macho @@#!-rock metal heroes
Vomit fire out of their big mouths
Shake your fists obediently

Make Leni Riefenstahl real proud

See the Aryan bozo with the red guitar

Parachute on the White House lawn
Gonna bomb the commies with his air guitar
So dumb he can't drive 55


Like Bing Crosby before them
GOVERNMENT MUSIC

Too idiotic to be real
GOVERNMENT MUSIC
You want it loud?

We'll make sure it goes nowhere
So you won't get ideas


Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill

Triumph of the swill

Music is banned in Khomeini's Iran

On the grounds that it stimulates the brain
We've done him one better in the land of !@%!e & honey
Using music to put people's brains to sleep


Ever wonder why commercial radio's so bad?
It's 'cause someone upstairs wants it that way

If the Doors or John Lennon were getting started now
The industry wouldn't sign 'em in a million years


So what do we get
GOVERNMENT MUSIC
Christian censorship and taxed blank tapes

Shoppers strung out on our false hopes
Will flock to obey


Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill

Triumph of the swill
