"Cover Up The Cover Up" lyrics

"Cover Up The Cover Up"

Reinvent the government
Let's do it on Monday
Reinvent the government
The whole institution
Reinvent the government
And by extension
Overthrow the monarchy
And private school system
Reinvent the government
It's my intuition

For the government lie (For the government lie)
When they just can't win an argument with their
Ungovernable lies (Ungovernable lies)
Maybe it's time for a feel good reinvention

Reinvent the government
Let's do it on Tuesday
Rid ourselves of cruelty
Let's do it on Wednesday
Take the powers hand them out
Let's do it on the Thursday
Free the media from oligarchs
Let's do it on Friday

And the government lie (And the government lie)
As they couldn't win the argument
So the government lie (So the government lie)
Just to cover up the initial inaccuracies
Then the government hide (Then the government hide)
They will fly away in helicopters
Fly into the sun (Fly into the sun)
With their aides still flapping excuses to the crowds

Cover up the cover up (Cover up the cover up)
Cover up the cover up (Cover up the cover up)
Cover up the cover up (Cover up the cover up)
Cover up the cover up (Cover up the cover up)

As the government lie (As the government lie)
When they just can't win an argument with their
Ungovernable lies (Ungovernable lies)
Maybe it's time for a feel good reinvention

Cover up the cover up (Cover up the cover up)
Cover up the cover up (Cover up the cover up)
Cover up the cover up (Cover up the cover up)
Cover up the cover up
