See ours is not the first by George good
Government to arise on the world stage
There have been several
Rome, Spain, and Greece, and China
And each enjoyed about a hundred and
Fifty years at it's zenith
And that’s just about our time
In the new world and then each decayed away
Not one of them was ever destroyed
By anybody else’s marching legions
Each rotted away morally
Socially, culturally
Economically simultaneously
You know one of the most cruel
Paradoxes’ of history is this

Because each was a good government
It bore bountiful fruit and
When it bore bountiful fruit
The people got fat
And when they got fat they got lazy
When they got lazy they began to want to
Absolve themselves of personal responsibility
And turn over
To government to do for them things which
Traditionally they had been
Doing for themselves

At first there appears to
Be nothing wrong asking
Government to perform some extra
Service for you but if you ask government
For extra services government, in order
To perform it's increasing function
Has to get bigger, right?
And as government gets bigger, in order to
Support it's increasing size it has to
What? Tax the individual more
So the individual gets littler
And to collect the increased taxes requires
More tax collectors so the government
Gets bigger and in order to
Pay the additional tax collectors, it has
To tax the individual more so the
Government gets bigger and the individual
Get littler and the government gets bigger
And the individual gets littler
Until the government is all powerful and the
Individual is hardly anything at all

Good government it bore bountiful
Fruit and when it
Bore bountiful fruit the people got fat
And when they got fat they got lazy
When they got lazy they began to want to
Absolve themselves of personal responsibility
And turn over
To government to do for them things which
Traditionally they had been
Doing for themselves

Some believe that the need is for a vigorous
Strong man to rise on the scene
To regulate and regiment the affairs of men
(REGULATORS) yet, history tells us there
Have been several such
Once upon a time there was a
Nation great and powerful and good
Few were suffering from the aftermath of war
From a depression
And then came upon the scene a
Leader, an idealist, self confident
Intolerant to criticism
A wise lady limited his early
Activities to combating the financial
Depression, nobody could argue with that
But in a while he began
To regulate business and
Establish new rules to govern
Commerce and finance
Some of them in diametrical
Disagreement with the
God-Made laws of supply and demand
But anybody who disagreed with those
New rules was promptly fired
The new leader saw that under the old
System of free enterprise
Landlords prospered
So he levied new taxes to
Take away their profit's
And destroy what he called
Then "Monopoly of Capital"
To please laborers, he controlled prices
To win the favor of the farmers, he
Gave them loans and subsidies
The National Debt mounted, alarmingly
Whenever anybody tried to tell him
"that governments, even as people
Can go broke, when they
Spend beyond their incomes"
He said "They just didn’t
Understand deficit finance"
Well, what do you say? Did he build on
Rock or on sand? I say on sand
For you see this was the story
Of Emperor Tsu Tong Phao who
Led China to it's doom more
Than a Thousand Years Ago

Because each was a good government
It bore bountiful fruit and
When it bore bountiful fruit
The people got fat
And when they got fat they got lazy
And when they got lazy they began to want
To absolve themselves of personal
Responsibility and turn
Over to government to do
For them things which
Traditionally they had been
Doing for themselves

Because each was a good government
It bore bountiful fruit and
When it bore bountiful fruit
The people got fat
And when they got fat they got lazy
And when they got lazy they began to want
To absolve themselves of personal
Responsibility and turn
Over to government to do
For them things which
Traditionally they had been
Doing for themselves

I am satisfied with all my heart that if
Uncle Sam ever does get whipped, here too
It will have been an Inside Job
It was internal decay
It was not external attack that
Destroyed the Roman Empire
Starting about 146 BC internal conditions in
Rome were characterized by a
Welter of class wars and conflicts
Street brawls, corrupt governors
Lack of personal integrity
And moral responsibility
Street brawls, corrupt governors
Lack of personal integrity
And moral responsibility
Street brawls, corrupt governors
Lack of personal integrity
And moral responsibility
Street brawls, corrupt governors
Lack of personal integrity
And moral responsibility
Street brawls, corrupt governors
Lack of personal integrity
And moral responsibility
Street brawls, corrupt governors
Lack of personal integrity
And moral responsibility
