David McWilliams - Working For The Government lyrics

I was walking down the street Who do you think I chance to meet Fast car Johnny from Sammy's bar Used to think that he'd go far He would work down in the factory Making so much money he wouldn't talk to me But he didn't look so good some how I said hey there John what you doing now He said I'm working for the Government, working for the Government It don't even pay the rent but I'm working for the Government It's real steady and its secure all I need is a signature I don't pay no body ten per cent I'm working for the Government Working for the Government Working for the Government Working for the Government Working for the Government I went for a drink down town Wondering what was going down Who was there having a few

But a whole lot of people that I once knew They were on the double, that ain't no shame Just beating the system that's the name of the game And this alcohol is heaven sent When you working for the Government And I'm going Working for the Government working for the Government It don't even pay the rent but I'm working for the Government It's real steady and its secure all I need is a signature I don't pay nobody 10 per cent I'm working for the Government Working for the Government Working for the Government Working for the Government Working for the Government I'm working for the Government Are you working for the Government Everybody working for the Government God bless the Government.
