Dead Kennedys - Triumph Of The Swill lyrics

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 co*k-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 coke & 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
