Government Issue Bathroom Tissue

Government Issue Bathroom Tissue

Well the old man never liked to work

The very thought of it drove him berzerk

He said the workin' man ain't nothin' but a fool

He said he'd never punch the clock

He'd punch his boss and then he'd walk

He'd be damned before he'd ever lift a tool

So with the help from some of his veteran friends

He sent some letters to some Congressmen

He'd check our box everyday for a reply

Well first they sent a government letter

Then the things they sent started gettin' better

And now you can see we're livin' far and wide

Chorus:

'Cause we got government issue bathroom tissue

Five pound blocks of cheese and powdered milk piled in the hall

U.S. Army surplus jeeps, big bags of beans, donated sheep

And so many God-damned food stamps that they're piled up wall to wall

(Yeah we got it all...y'all)

So if you're the type that don't like to work

Wanna sit around your house like a lazy jerk

Then listen real careful to my daddy's plan

Yeah come up with a story real pathetic

And write it down real poetic

Then send it to everybody in Congress, man

Chorus:

They'll give you government issue bathroom tissue

Five pound blocks of cheese and powdered milk piled in the hall

U.S. Army surplus jeeps, big bags of beans, donated sheep

And so many God-damned food stamps that they're piled up wall to wall
