Politicians say, "We need another program We need one for the children We need one for the poor A program for your safety Another for justice" They always say we need one But what's it really for? Billion dollar deals Cushy union contracts Pensions Payoffs Rounds of champagne Earmarks and bailouts and Legions of lobbyists Calling in donations for the next campaign George Washington, founding father Spoke the words to always remember Government, he said, is like fire! A dangerous servant and a fearful master Politicians say their programs make things better But every time they pass one, we're worse off than before Budgets get bigger Red tape more tangled And all they ever want is more and more and more They say it's for your freedom as they pass new regulations They say it's for your welfare, then tax at every turn They tax you when you're working When you're driving When you're buying When you're living When you're dying They tax until you burn George Washington, founding father Spoke the words to always remember Government, he said, is like fire! A dangerous servant and a fearful master Politicians say, "Every program is essential" They say great harm will come if you stand in their way They say they'll have to lay off policemen and firemen And close down schools and let bridges decay But what about those cushy contracts? And pensions? And earmarks? And bailouts? They're not going to say They'll yell and scream and shout that you must Give them your money, or they'll Threaten to take the things you need away George Washington, founding father Spoke the words to always remember Government, he said, is like fire! A dangerous servant and a fearful master
