Please allow me to introduce myself.
I am a man who works for the state.
I've been around for a long, long time
Filled many a man's heart with hate.
I was around when Judge Roy Bean
Built the courthouse behind his saloon.
"Hang ‘em, first, try ‘em, later!"
Said the Judge as he turned to his spittoon.
Please to meet you!
Hope you guess my name
Is what's troubling you,
The nature of my game?
Stuck around the penitentiary
When Old Sparky was jacked into the wall
Three Hundred Sixty One final debts paid
Before I started swabbin' arms with alcohol.
I held the flank of the ATF tank
When the children's screams stopped
And all Waco stank
Please to meet you!
Hope you guess my name.
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game.
I watched with glee on my big screen TV
As the talking heads
At the gruesome scene
Asked "Who killed the Davidians?"
When, after all, it was you and me.
Let me please introduce myself
I am a man who works for the state.
I provide you security
When I take all your freedom away.
Just as every cop is a criminal in all the Lone Star State As heads is tails Just call me Government
‘cause I'm in need of some restraint.
