Unlike governments A I will not fight the war on drugs D But I’ll soldier on No matter which way this heart tugs When they came crashing down C#m F#m From their election victory high B E Their whole electoral campaign C#m F#m Was shown to be a vicious lie B E I heard them gloat D There was no vote C#m They could not buy E
Unlike governments I do not need a pick-me-up It’s no punishment If I go days without a cup But with teetotallers in power Things get even scarier still When their church Makes them more crazed Than any other kind of pill They think Jesus Christ Has issued licenses To kill
Unlike governments I know just when I’ve had enough Never satisfied And if things get a little rough They think they’ve lost it all They’ve hit the bottom of the pile And now they’ve lost their minds Over things that make me smile If they cannot score They’ll go out and whore And they won’t stand trial
Unlike governments Unchecked ambition leaves me cold We’re not their prisoners Why should we do what we are told They keep cashing in Every time disaster strikes They’ll buy private jets While we’re selling the kids’ trikes After Cyclone Brown They’ll rebuild the town The way their leader likes
