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 mouts   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   [Chorus:]   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 and honey   Using music to 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
