And The Government Will Protect The Mighty

And all the farmer went down\nTheir daughters married boys from town\nAnd the prosperity we knew\nIs rotting like a running shoe\nAnd the skills we used to have\nDied with gramma and grand dad\nAnd Coca Cola owns the lakes\nAnd the police just break your legs\nAnd the government protects the mighty\nAnd the army has your face\nAnd your religion and your race\nThe banks have took your house away\nAnd say compassion’s for the saints\nAnd the government protects the mighty\nAnd as your passion’s grinded down\nAnd war planes break the speed of sound\nThe trees will briefly stand in green\nUntil they’re chopped up for the steam\nAnd the government\nProtects the mighty
