Triumph Of The Swill Lyrics - Bedtime For Democracy - Dead Kennedys

Life can only get better 

All you need to do is fall in love 

Everyone else has fun but you 

Buy that fun you'll fit in too 

Dance your problems away 

GOVERNMENT MUSIC 

Cheap escape to that mind-control beat 

GOVERNMENT MUSIC 

Mellow out—Life's too hard 

You don't even want to think 

See the macho cock-rock metal heroes 

Vomit fire out of their big mouths 

Shake your fists obediently 

Make Leni Riefenstahl real proud

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

See the Aryan bozo with the red guitar 

Parachute on the White House lawn 

Gonna bomb the commies with his air guitar 

So dumb he can't drive 55 

Like Bing Crosby before them 

GOVERNMENT MUSIC 

Too idiotic to be real 

GOVERNMENT MUSIC 

You want it loud? 

We'll make sure it goes nowhere 

So you won't get ideas

Music is banned in Khomeini's Iran 

On the grounds that it stimulates the brain 

We've done him one better in the land of coke & honey 

Using music to put people's brains to sleep 

Ever wonder why commercial radio's so bad? 

It's 'cause someone upstairs wants it that way 

If the Doors or John Lennon were getting started now 

The industry wouldn't sign 'em in a million years 

So what do we get 

GOVERNMENT MUSIC 

Christian censorship and taxed blank tapes 

Shoppers strung out on our false hopes 

Will flock to obey 

Triumph of the swill
