Don't Trust the Government

Featured Replies

This song goes a long way back, to 1982. Various ideas, people. Anyway, here is a rendering on the instrumental of it ca. 1997. Also, the lyrics. I will post here and on myspace the full song with me singing it in a bit.

This song has some extended jams in it, all sequenced 12 years ago by me on a weekend. All playable and and full scores can be provided to people who need it. At any rate...

Just for fun!

Don't Trust the Government (lyrics are where the flute plays and trumpets in the middle and end).

Lyrics to "Don't Trust The Goverment"

-------------------------------------

Government spies are everywhere

They're in your house and in your hair

Lurking in their secret lair

Counting dollars...

They know everything you know

And they see everything you show

And everywhere you go

They slowly follow...

[Tripping Blues]

Government spies will spy on you

And there's nothing much that you can do

Except to wait until they're through

With their spying!

[more Tripping Blues]

Well, their leader is a wimp

And his assistant is a pimp

And his chauffer is a chimp

Down in Miami (in Miami, in Miami, in Miami)

(Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!)
