Government by Chris Sorrenti
Hey! Mr. MP
Won’t you give me some government?
Won’t you help me build a bomb?
No, I don’t need to see leaves changing colors
Babies crying...lovers loving
As we all jump off the deep end
The House of Commons is a grand old place
Brian Mulroney will be the next PM
If Trudeau can’t see the fortune cookie
In his corn flakes
Let’s have him build another Arrow
Then later on cancel the plan
Cause we’ve got standing offers
And contract specifications
Yet can’t get the Formaldehyde
Out of our office towers
After they recommended we put it there!
Ronny, won’t you please legislate me
Into the coming war?
Even if there’s no one left to vote for you
After the damage has been done
No, I don’t need my mother and apple pie
Go ahead and stick them in the microwave
