There is no government,
there's no one in charge--
no one to protect you
from threats domestic and foreign...
only a system in place
that tries to save face
when the damage is already done.
No pillar of strength standing tall
like the twin towers--
who ever dreamed they'd fall?
No one to save the beaches
or the birds that can no longer fly,
only those who point fingers
while all the beauty dies.
There is no government,
there's no one in charge--
only a system in place
that can put a man into space
while those who make speeches are livin' large.
I hate to be the one to tell you
'cause we've believed in it so long--
gotta stick together
cuz baby, we're on our own!
There is no government,
there's no one in charge--
(like Alexander Haig)
only a system in place
that tries to save face
when the horse
has already left the barn.
