You Are (The Government)
Bad Religion
Suffer, All Ages

---

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
You consciousness
There’s a loser in my 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 the country can’t pretend
To ignore its people’s cries
Cuz you are the government
You are jurisprudence
You are the volition
You are jurisdiction
And I make a difference too
