Lyrics
Well he's down with the capitalist system
Expressing alignment with the capitalist system.
But he lost a lot, those capitalists
Acknowledging losses within the capitalist system.
He's read you every book that you'd ever list him,
Claiming extensive knowledge by reading all suggested books.
And now he'll put you back up there on your shelf
Indicating a willingness to support or elevate others.
You're the government darling, you're sick of yourself,
Addressing someone as the "government darling" who is discontent with themselves.
Yeah you're sick of yourself
Reiterating the person's dissatisfaction with themselves.
You're the government darling, you're sick of yourself,
Continuing to address the person as the "government darling" and emphasizing self-discontent.
Yeah you're sick of yourself,
Repeating the theme of dissatisfaction with oneself.
You're the government darling, the government darling
Reiterating the identification of the person as the "government darling."
You're sick of yourself, yeah you're sick of yourself
Emphasizing the person's self-discontent.
You're the government darling
Addressing the person again as the "government darling."
You're sick of your
Interrupted line, leaving the word unfinished, suggesting a negative self-perception.
What would the powers that be do without you Dad?
Pondering the significance of the person (Dad) within the powers that be.
We'd probably live among the so-socialists
Suggesting a hypothetical scenario where socialists might prevail.
So ma-ma-man a-don't you go and deny it
Advising not to deny something, possibly related to the previous line.
'Cause lying's fit to be so worse for your health
Stating that lying is detrimental to one's health.
You're the government darling, you're sick of yourself,
Repeating the theme of self-discontent within the government context.
Yeah you're sick of yourself
Emphasizing the person's dissatisfaction with themselves.
You're the government darling, you're sick of yourself,
Reiterating the identification of the person as the "government darling."
Yeah you're sick of yourself
Repeating the theme of dissatisfaction with oneself.
You're the government darling, the government darling
Emphasizing once again the identification of the person as the "government darling."
You're sick of yourself, a fucking government darling
Reinforcing the person's self-discontent using strong language.
The government darling
Repeating the term "government darling."
The government
Concluding with a simple repetition of "The government," possibly for emphasis.
