NOFX - Perfect Government Lyrics
Even if it's easy to be free
What's your definition of freedom?
And who the fuck are you, anyway?
Who the fuck are they?
Who the fuck am I to say?
How did the cat get so fat?
Why does the family die?
Do you care why?
Cause there hasn't been a sign
Of anything gettin' better in the ghetto
People's fed up
Getting fed up
You racist, you bigot
But that's not the problem
Now is it?
It's all about the money
Political power is taken
Protecting the rich, denying the poor
Yeah, they love to watch the world from the White House
And I wonder...
How can they sleep at night?
How can they sleep at night?
How did the cat get so fat?
How did the cat get so fat?
How did the cat get so fat?
How did the cat get so fat?

STARTING A THREAD:
So what's your definition of FREEDOM?
mine is choosing your own chains, cause there'll always be chains of some form
One of the best rap songs of all time
It has desperate meaning today.
Business as usual huh fat fuckn POS?
Fun fact, that’s actually Mark Curry of Hefe’s first band “Crystal Sphere” singing the opening line. He also wrote and recorded the original version of this song
My friends and i used to drink beer and jam this shit back in the 90's. One of the best punk albums of all time in my opinion.
Bubbles is 17.2 pounds.
Hes a fat cat.
Trap House G Funk
give us more money for defense spending and shady deals while we sign you up to fight fake wars for oil - just get an electric car - millions dying of cancer surrounding cities
I’m gonna cover this song.
This foresaw a future in an accurate manner with Donald Trump and the Republicans in the current elections.
It's amazing how accurate this song is. I'm deeply scared how they predicted our current times.
There it is....lol shut up
hahaha shut the fuck up
I'm listen forever... no shit.
I'm listening in 2018 and forever...
Oh my God that's the best song all over the world.
The best song ever.
Punk in drublic
I don’t think anyone knows this is a cover song cx
I think you do.
Class: $ick!
brilliant cover
In highschool, a classmate wanted to trade this cd for my No Doubt to give as a present for his sister. Im like who tf is NOFX? But say no more for this was the bestest cd in the whole universe.
Jim Hogg TX best trade ever.
One of the greatest songs ever.
This is the definition of Punk Rock music.
how did mike get so fat?
mummy fuckers
happy election day!
...cover song
Barrel Brine no shit
Hell YEAH dude! Cheers!
It is a cover song, but it's a song that was originally by the singer/songwriter from Hefe's old band.
It's only fitting that Nofx cover it.
This could be the worst sounding song on Youtube.
Thank goodness it isn't! :-)
#feelthema-man. Fuck these hash tags or whatever.
So much love #feelthebern
howd that work out? hahahah
Eat your heart out what does the fox say!!!
Shut the fuck up
whats the stuff at the start?
@zackdoom awesomeness
+zackdoom Music or something.
It's guitar and bass bro. The guitar just has a really cool sparkly tone to it.
A better question than ''What does the fox say?''.
Hang yourself
Show me the CARFAX
I hope you realize he's not talking about an actual cat
So fucking love this song!!!
They played this entire album at Riot Fest 2014 in Denver! It was amazing
Missed it! I heard Decendents played Milo Goes to College front to back in Denver as well!!
How cant they sleep at night?!
@Herpetologisthero can*
How cant they sleep at night?!
this is what I fight
@***** Jesus Christ, you're wrong about everything. I'd expect nothing less from a moron with anarchy symbolism as their picture, though.
Only Americans could be possibly confuse punk music as right-wing. You have no clue, do you. If you lived through the eighties, put safety pins through your nose, sported a mohawk, spat in your favourite bands face you may continue this discussion. Punk music was created by Mike Mclaren as a marketing campaign to put together a 'rebel' boy band. It was clever marketing because it indoctrinated us all to hate (And therefore not buy) any and all other forms of music. The social movement which accompanied it was real but it was unequivocably supported by the left-wing even though the spirit was 'Anarchy'. In simple terms as irreverant youths we were of the opinion 'Burn every fucking thing down and we'll start over'.
@Adam Webster Actually isn't everyone either 'Anti-Racist' or 'Ignorant' regardless of where they sit on the political spectrum? Right-wing generally means you favour privatisation in business or 'Cut not spend'. Left-Wing means tax for socialist matters. It's not very difficult but you should probably know we all think your right-wing in USA is fucking insane here - and I believe I speak for the rest of the world when I say that. Gay rights? Evolution in education? Individual rights? Health care, Gun control? You guys are fucking batshit crazy.
+CarboKill "Anarchist symbol" dude that's the Dead Kennedy's logo
@thepiedpider12 Look at the dates of those comments.
He's changed it since, I presume. It was that stupid "A" logo, that specific one for general anarchy. Was really dumb. I actually like Dead Kennedys though, they're great.
One of the most beautiful songs of our generation...
Roy Reynolds
