Government Song - Lyrics - Cage The Elephant

Hissing, spitting rain The sky lights up again The clouds they crack tonight There's thunder in the distance Just sitting on my couch Inside I feel the sun Shaken by a storm Frustration can't explain It's the government Twisted politicians I feel paranoid, but I can't just run away Oh, we've got to kiss the twilight It's time we face these flames Before madness shrieks again It's our freedom that must be saved Demons in disguise Tenders of the light They'll play a pretty tune for you To mask their motivation And now they're off to sav the world, my friend Their true agenda out of sight Liquid gold is in the holy land And Cheney'd like to take a bite It's the government Twisted politicians I feel paranoid, but I can't just run away Oh, we've got to kiss the twilight It's time we face these flames Before madness shrieks again It's our freedom that must be saved Lying to risk your life For the worthless dollar bill And they'll gladly send you off to war To reach their own objective See, while your family lives again Now reborn to corporate giants What puppet masters they've become They've bought the world to keep us quiet It's the government Twisted politicians I feel paranoid, but I can't just run away Oh, we've got to kiss the twilight It's time we face these flames Before madness shrieks again It's our freedom that must be saved It's the government *** your twisted politicians I feel paranoid, but I can't just run away Oh, we've got to kiss the twilight It's time we face these flames Before madness shrieks again It's our freedom that must be saved
