Rome - To Be Governed lyrics

To be governed Is to be watched over, inspected, spied on, directed Legislated, regimented, closed in, indoctrinated To be governed Is to be preached at, controlled, a**essed Evaluated, Censored, Commanded All by creatures that have neither the right, nor wisdom, nor virtue To be governed means that at every move, At every operation or transaction One is noted, registered, taxed, stamped, priced, licensed, informed, Authorized, admonished, prevented, reformed, set right, corrected Government means to be subjected to tribute, ransom, exploited, Monopolized, extorted, pressured, robbed All in the name of public utility and the general good Then, at the first sign of resistance, or word of complaint One is repressed, fined, despised, pursued, ha**led, beaten up, Garroted, imprisoned, shot, judged, sentenced, deported, Sacrificed, sold, betrayed And to cap it all, ridiculed, mocked, and dishonored And that is government, That is its justice? And its morality? That is is government That, its justice And its morality
