[Beastie Boys - This Government Needs A Tune Up lyrics]
Get with it get with it
Get with it
Got beats that are boomin' to
Keep the crowd movin'
'Cause this administration needs
Some removin' since 9
11, got war on the brain
This US nation needs show restraint
Oh, no way, what’s that, you say?
The UN don't mean nothin' to the USA?
Oh, no way, what’s that you heard?
Bush is makin' money off of the oil, word?
Never ending government spendin'
All for weapons of war
They keep on spendin' more
Trouble believing, all this deceiving
Is it really freedom that we're fighting for?
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
Imagine public healthcare, public housing
Public help without the religious founding
Imagine that, well, it could happen yet
And we can make it happen, it's a bet
Now I'm not trying to say I hate the USA
I'd live somewhere else if I felt that way
But go back to the fifty's
If you think it's all nifty
This president is acting mad-shifty
FBI and the cops keep all filing
Who protest the war and who they're dialing
So be careful what you say up on the internet
We got a nosy government that won't forget
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
Need a little democratic socialism
Eassssse up on the capitalism
Eassssse up on the militarism
Ease up on the campaign finance schism
The next thing they'll want
Is abortion deaded
If you're not straight, white, and married
It's dreaded
Forget it, you know what they say, if you
Re gay you're not a real member of society
If you're with me say, What is this?
Our government's being run by big business
Wrecking shop, so let's fix this
Come on somebody and get with this
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
Get with it get with it
Get with it get with it
Get with it
Get with it
Got beats that are boomin' to
Keep the crowd movin'
'Cause this administration needs
Some removin' since 9
11, got war on the brain
This US nation needs show restraint
Oh, no way, what’s that, you say?
The UN don't mean nothin' to the USA?
Oh, no way, what’s that you heard?
Bush is makin' money off of the oil, word?
Never ending government spendin'
All for weapons of war
They keep on spendin' more
Trouble believing, all this deceiving
Is it really freedom that we're fighting for?
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
Imagine public healthcare, public housing
Public help without the religious founding
Imagine that, well, it could happen yet
And we can make it happen, it's a bet
Now I'm not trying to say I hate the USA
