The Government Darling Lyrics


Well, he's down with the Capitalist system
But he lost a lot, those Capitalists
He's read you every book that you'd ever list him
Now he'll put you back up there on your shelfYou're the government, darling
You're sick being yourself
Yeah, you're sick being yourself
You're the government, darling
You're sick being yourself
Yeah, you're sick through yourselfYou're the government, darling
The government, darling
You're sick being yourself
You're sick being yourself
You're the government, darling
You're sick being yourWhat would the powers that be do without you, dad?
We'd probably live among the Socialists
So man, don't you go and deny it
'Cause lying is fit to be so worse for your healthYou're the government, darling
You're sick being yourself

Yeah, you're sick being yourself
You're the government, darling
You're sick being yourself
Yeah, you're sick through yourselfYou're the government, darling
The government, darling
You're sick being yourself
The fucking government, darling
The government, darling
The government, heyYou're the government, darling
You're sick through yourself now
You're sick through yourself
You're the government, darling
You're sick through yourself now
You know, you know what I'm saying isThe government, darling
The government, darling
The government, darling
The government, darling
The government, darling
The government

Spoon is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas. The band was formed in late 1993 by lead singer/guitarist Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno. Current members also include: Eric Harvey (keyboard, guitar, percussion, backing vocals) and Rob Pope (bass, backing vocals - replaced Joshua Zarbo in 2007).

After releasing their debut LP Telephono on Matador Records, the band signed with Elektra in 1998, but the contract was dropped soon after the band released A Series of Sneaks. In response the band released a two-song single titled The Agony of Laffitte (referring to Elektra A&R man Ron Laffitte). Eventually they signed to Merge Records.

Spoon has been met with widespread critical acclaim. Girls Can Tell, released in 2001, sold more copies than both their previous releases combined. Kill the Moonlight accomplished the same feat a year later. Gimme Fiction was released on May 10, 2005 and continued the trend of increasing popularity for the band.

Britt Daniel wrote much of the soundtrack to the 2006 film Stranger Than Fiction. Four tracks by Spoon are also featured.

The band released their sixth studio album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga on July 10, 2007; those who purchased the first pressing also received a bonus disc titled Get Nice!.

Transference is their seventh studio album. It was released on January 18, 2010 in Europe, and on January 19 in North America, to moderately positive reviews.
