You are (the government)
by Bad Religion

Hey, sit down and listen and they´ll tell you when you´re wrong
Eradicate but vindicate as "progress" creeps along
Puritan work ethic maintains its subconscious edge
As old glory maintains your consciousness
There´s a loser in the house and a puppet on a stool
And a crowded way of life and a black reflecting pool
And as the people bend the moral fabric dies
Then country can´t pretend to ignore its peoples´ cries
Cause you are the government
You are jurisprudence
You are the volition
You are jurisdiction
And I make a difference too
Eradicate but vindicate as "progress" creeps along
Puritan work ethic maintains its subconscious edge
As old glory maintains your consciousness
There´s a loser in the house and a puppet on a stool
And a crowded way of life and a black reflecting pool
And as the people bend the moral fabric dies
Then country can´t pretend to ignore its peoples´ cries
Cause you are the government
You are jurisprudence
You are the volition
You are jurisdiction
And I make a difference too
