Lyrics
If The Government Could Read My Mind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Baby I'm more than a little concerned you see
about the New World Order conspiracies
And the covert spreading of deadly disease
They've got earthquake machines and UFO's
and black helicopters wherever we go
But I forget them all when you are with me
They can telepathically monitor my mind
I'm not scared of what they'll find
Let them do what they're gonna do
Cuz' if the government could read my mind
they'd know I'm thinking of you.
They've got secretly funded internment camps
and biological warfare labs
But when you look at me they all don't seem so bad
They've got Martian traded technology,
and mind control psychology
I'll let them do what they wanna do
Cuz' if the government could read my mind
they'd know I'm thinking of you.
I could stockpile food and join a militia
but I'd rather stay at home and kiss ya
None of that matters when i'm with you
They can telepathically monitor my mind
I'm not scared of what they'll find
Let them do what they're gonna do
Cuz' if the government could read my mind
they'd know I'm thinking of you.
If the government can read my mind baby,
you know it doesn't matter what they find
Cuz' if the government could read my mind
they'd know I'm thinking of you.
