Government Stretchmarks

Liars and thieves, like actors and politicians
All we know is pretend and taking everything
Cradles and graves, assuming you reach the first one
All paid for giving out what we take

I control all your means
I control all your ways today
And I'll make you need me
I control everything
I control it and I know the way
And I'll make you love me

Pick and choose which rules we follow ourselves
Written in code far too long to read
Cause and effect, often we're both of them
I'll pause for effect you won't figure it out

I control all your means
I control all your weighs today
And I'll make you need me
I control everything
I control it and I know the way
And I'll make you love me

Progress, it comes from us

Death and taxes I'll bring them both to you
Then tax your death. You know it's a sweet gig
Fires and streets the promise is never kept
All the work of these fine idiots

I control all your means
I control all your ways today
And I'll make you need me
I control everything
I control it and I know the way
And I'll make you love me

Ups and downs they don't hurt me much
Come back around, pull the lever for me
Liars and thieves
