This Government Needs A Tune Up Lyrics

Get with it

Get with it

Get with it

Got beats that are boomin to keep the crowd movin

Cause this administration needs some removin

Since 9/11 got war on the brain

This US Nation needs show restraint



Oh no way, what's that you say?

The UN don't mean nothin to the USA?

Oh no way, what's that you heard?

Bush is makin money off of the oil, word?



Never ending government spendin

All for weapons of war they keep on spendin more

Trouble believing, all this deceiving

Is it really freedom that we're fighting for?



This Government Needs a Tune Up

This Government Needs a Tune Up

This Government Needs a Tune Up

This Government Needs a Tune Up



Imagine public healthcare, public housing,

Public help without the religious founding

Imagine that, well it could happen yet

And we can make it happen, it's a bet



Now I'm not trying to say I hate the USA

I'd live somewhere else if I felt that way

But go back to the fifty's, if you think it's all nifty

This president is acting mad shifty



FBI and the cops keep all filing

Who protest the war and who their dialing

So be careful what you say up on the internet

We got a nosey government that won't forget



This Government Needs a Tune Up

This Government Needs a Tune Up

This Government Needs a Tune Up

This Government Needs a Tune Up

This Government Needs a Tune Up

This Government Needs a Tune Up



Need a little democratic socialism

Eassssse up on the capitalism

Eassssse up on the militarism

Ease up on the campaign finance schism



The next thing they'll want is abortion deaded

If you're not straight, white and married it's dreaded

Forget it, you know what they say, if you're gay

You're not a real member of society



If you're with me say, "What is this?"

Our government's being run by big business

Wrecking shop, so, lets fix this

Come on somebody and get with this



This Government Needs a Tune Up

This Government Needs a Tune Up

This Government Needs a Tune Up

This Government Needs a Tune Up

Get with it

Get with it

Get with it

Get with it

Get with it
