Life can only get better 
All you need to do is fall in love 
Everyone else has fun but you 
Buy that fun you'll fit in too  
 
Dance your problems away 
GOVERNMENT MUSIC 
Cheap escape to that mind-control beat 
GOVERNMENT MUSIC 
Mellow out-Life's too hard 
You don't even want to think  
 
See the macho cock-rock metal heroes 
Vomit fire out of their big mouths 
Shake your fists obediently 
Make Leni Riefenstahl real proud  
 
See the Aryan bozo with the red guitar 
Parachute on the White House lawn 
Gonna bomb the commies with his air guitar 
So dumb he can't drive 55  
 
Like Bing Crosby before them 
GOVERNMENT MUSIC 
Too idiotic to be real 
GOVERNMENT MUSIC 
You want it loud? 
We'll make sure it goes nowhere 
So you won't get ideas  
 
Triumph of the swill 
Triumph of the swill 
Triumph of the swill 
Triumph of the swill  
 
Music is banned in Khomeini's Iran 
On the grounds that it stimulates the brain 
We've done him one better in the land of coke & honey 
Using music to put people's brains to sleep  
 
Ever wonder why commercial radio's so bad? 
It's 'cause someone upstairs wants it that way 
If the Doors or John Lennon were getting started now 
The industry wouldn't sign 'em in a million years  
 
So what do we get 
GOVERNMENT MUSIC 
Christian censorship and taxed blank tapes 
Shoppers strung out on our false hopes 
Will flock to obey  
 
Triumph of the swill 
Triumph of the swill 
Triumph of the swill 
Triumph  of the swill
