The Government Can- By Tim Hawkins (Lyrics in description)

This is a video basically on what is happening to America today. Rhythm is the same as "The Candyman Can"
Lyrics:
(Hey everybody! Gather 'round! I'm here to give you anything you like! You want a car, money, mortages?! Whatever you like! You have come to the right place! Why? I'll tell you why!)

Who can take your money? (Who can take your money?)
With a twinkle in their eye? (With a twinkle in their eye?)
Take it all away and
Give it to some other guy

[Chorus]
The Government (the Government)
The Government can! (The Government can!)

Who can tax the Sun rise? (Who can watch the Sun rise?)
Who can tax the trees? (Who can touch the trees?)
Let you run a business and
Collect up all the fees

[Chorus]

The Government can 'cause
They mix it up with lies and
Make it all taste good! (Make it all taste good!)

The Government takes
Everything we make
To pay for all of their "sollutions"
Healthcare, Climate Change, Pollution
(Throw away the Constitution)

Who can give a bailout? (Who can give a bailout?)
Tell us to behave? (Tell us to behave?)
Make the Founding Fathers
Roll over in their graves

[Chorus]

The Government takes
Everything we make
They're power hungry
And malicious

The economics are fictitious
Soon we'll have to eat our dishes
Mmm! Delicious!

Who can be a failure? (Who can be a failure?)
In so many ways? (In so many ways?)
Instead of getting fired, HEY!
We'll give ourselves a raise!

[Chorus]

The Government can 'cause
He mix it up with lies and
Make it all taste good! (Make it all taste good!)
And your Uncle Sam can 'cause
He mixes it with lies and
Makes it all taste good! (Makes it all taste good!)

And I feel so good
Because the Government
Says I should! Oh!...

Ok acilate, wikipedia is not a good source to be quoting when trying to prove a point. Secondly the unemployment rate has been going up for the last year. Obama didn't start it, but the stimulus package and all the bail-outs have done nothing to stop it. Do some research before you start posting your uninformed opinion about something. Oh and stay off wikipedia.

Wake up boys and girls... if you are into blaming one party or the other, then you are thinking exactly how you have been conditioned to think, and as a result nothing will ever change.

Great video. Thanks for posting.

[KnowledgeISpower789]

@pukey02 i lol'd @ you. ever heard of a thing called sarcasm?

anyone who thinks that for real tho needs there head checked out

[pukey02]

They take and take and take, and people like you are the reason why it has happened for too long. You allow to give up your freedoms and liberties to live a more "comfortable" life.The more remain in the dark about these facts, the more power you give the government. The govenment should fear its people, not the people fearing the governemnt!!!!!!!!

[pukey02]

@KnowledgeISpower789

This is the most retarded thing I have ever read!!!!!!! You think that we would all die if we didn't have this governmnent we have now? We are dying as a result of this government. Do you research and stop listening to the pretty girl on your TV! A day will come when you will see at your front door how the government really feels about you.

[KnowledgeISpower789]

government is the best! with out it we would all die. no questions about it thats a fact government = GOD
