Bring down the government, bring it to its heel
Sure it a hoot when they prosecute you for doing what you feel
Bring down the government, bring it to its knees
If you want your rights you're gonna have to fight
So bring down the government please
Bring down the government, bring it down for fun
God only knows they've had their time
It's about time it was done
So bring down the government, get them on the run
We'll bake their heads to ginger bread
And eat them one by one
Bring down the government, do it now for love
Do it for your mother and sister too and do for God above
So roll on my brothers we can find out how
To walk hand in hand to the promised land
If we bring down the government now
Bring down the government now
Bring down the government now
Bring down the government now
