lyrics

The government's conspiring. You're crying and perspiring. The girl you were admiring just makes you mad
Some may call it heresy, but there's no heresy here i see, just a government conspiracy to make you sad

The CIA and FBI against an average normal guy, they're sifting through your mail supply and misconstrue
The Schengen zone and the EU too, were recently recruited to the government conspiracy to make you cry.

The FCC and INS outlaw the things that you love best, and make sure your relationships will go awry
But they have your best interest at heart, I know because I am apart of the government conspiracy to make you blue.

So Don't you lie and say to me that thing's aren't going bad. There's a government conspiracy to make you sad.

And when your homeless on the street, with only frozen tears to eat, and you feel much less than incomplete, and hopelessly depressed
you'll wish you could afford a drink, a car a gun a noose a shrink, and then you'll stop and smile and think
the government knows best

So don't you lie and say to me that thing's aren't going bad. There's a government conspiracy to make you sad.
