     C#           G#                  D#                   F
Hey, sit down and listen and they'll tell you when you're wrong,
 C#            G#            D#                A#
Eradicate but vindicate as "progress" creeps along,
C#           G#              D#               F
Puritan work ethic maintains its subconscious edge,
   C#            D#                   F
As old glory maintains your consciousness

           C#           G#          D#           F
There's a loser in the house and a puppet on a stool,
       C#             G#         D#               A#
And a crowded way of life and a black reflecting pool,
    C#             G#       D#           F
And as the people bend the moral fabric dies,
      C#               D#                 F#
Then country can't pretend to ignore its people's cries

      F           G#
Cause you are the government
You are jurisprudence
You are the volition
You are jurisdiction
And I make a difference too
