Rome - To Be Governed lyrics

[Rome - To Be Governed lyrics]

To be governed
Is to be watched over, inspected, spied on
Directed legislated, regimented, closed in
Indoctrinated

To be governed
Is to be preached at, controlled, assessed
Evaluated, Censored, Commanded
All by creatures that have neither
The right, nor wisdom, nor virtue

To be governed means that at every move
At every operation or transaction
One is noted, registered, taxed
Stamped, priced, licensed, informed
Authorized, admonished, prevented, reformed
Set right, corrected

Government means to be subjected
To tribute, ransom, exploited
Monopolized, extorted, pressured, robbed
All in the name of public
Utility and the general good
Then, at the first sign of resistance
Or word of complaint
One is repressed, fined
Despised, pursued, hassled, beaten up
Garroted, imprisoned, shot
Judged, sentenced, deported
Sacrificed, sold, betrayed,
Ridiculed, mocked, and dishonored

And that is government that is it's justice?
And it's morality?

That is is government that, it's justice
And it's morality
