The Lyrics
Well this dick wants government in your bed,
Yes, this dick wants government in your head,
Telling you what to do.
He wants you to be free, he says—actually
He wants to tell you just what to do.
Well this dick wants government in your bed,
Yes, this dick wants government in your head,
Watching you, watching you.
He’ll give you a warning
That if you act nasty, according to rules theocratic,
You are going to dread what you do,
Going to dread, and you’ll rue,
Going to dread what ain’t right.
Right, he’ll say what’s right—best do right.
All people must obey and play their part;
There’s no guy on guy, you must not lie with an unwed tart.
’cause this dick wants government in your bed,
Yes, this dick wants government in your head. . .
Government in your bed, watching you
And in your head telling you
What’s dictated: wrong and right.
Right’s this way; at night, do what’s right, or plight.
Fight and pay the price. Get head right,
Wrong to fight
Every day, it’s his way, or you’ll pay!
Yes, this dick wants government in your head,
Telling you what to do.
He wants you to be free, he says—actually
He wants to tell you just what to do.
Well this dick wants government in your bed,
Yes, this dick wants government in your head,
Watching you, watching you.
He’ll give you a warning
That if you act nasty, according to rules theocratic,
You are going to dread what you do,
Going to dread, and you’ll rue,
Going to dread what ain’t right.
Right, he’ll say what’s right—best do right.
All people must obey and play their part;
There’s no guy on guy, you must not lie with an unwed tart.
’cause this dick wants government in your bed,
Yes, this dick wants government in your head. . .
Government in your bed, watching you
And in your head telling you
What’s dictated: wrong and right.
Right’s this way; at night, do what’s right, or plight.
Fight and pay the price. Get head right,
Wrong to fight
Every day, it’s his way, or you’ll pay!
