lirik lagu ryan harvey - the only thing governments have done
i h~~rded all the fruits and vegetables and grains
kept them for myself but made a price that you could pay
and from this early pattern a structure did become
and that’s about the only thing that governments have done
i hired you to work for me so you could buy my food
created an economy that barely gave a clue
that you did all the labor and i got all the funds
and that’s about the only thing that governments have done
i built a giant fortress where my family could reside
filled you workers up with myths of patriotic pride
filled my life with luxury and politics and fun
and that’s about the only that governments have done
i sent the children off to schools to be taught and trained
into roles that benefit and keep the structure maintained
i kept them from their history and slowly made them dumb
and that’s about the only that governments have done
i built with brick a place for those who didn’t play my game
who wouldn’t plow my fields for me or pay praise to my name
i built up giant prison walls so people couldn’t run
and that’s about the only that governments have done
i launched a million wars in the name of private greed
i k!lled off all the natives from the mountains to the sea
i murdered them with slavery, and smallpox, and guns
and that’s about the only thing that governments have done
i gave you back some freedom in that silly bill of rights
used all the proper language so you wouldn’t rise to fight
i fooled you all with imagery now look what i’ve become
and that’s about the only thing that governments have done
yes i fought long and hard to secure my place on top
through bombs and tanks and crack cocaine and violence from the cops
i kept you apathetic and this is how i’ve won
and that’s about the only thing that governments have done
