Working for the Government lyrics

The neighbors like him

Think he's a great guy

He wears a neck tie

He workin' for the government

He get you elected

He take the heat, y'all

He know the plan, yeah

He workin' for the government

Civil servant, y'all

Mufti uniform

He keep a place in town

He workin' for the government

He keep his mouth shut

Nobody know him

He G.I. Joe, yeah

He workin' for the government

Love come around

He never feel a thing

He see right through it all

He workin' for the government

High places, low places

Man of influence

Mister Invisible

He workin' for the government

Hot war, cold war

M-m-m-money and guns

It's all the same to him

He workin' for the government

Your country, my country

Gun for hire, y'all

Mercenary 101

He workin' for the government

He's a professional

He James Bond, yeah

He come from nowhere

He workin' for the government

Uptown, downtown

Anywhere the chips come down

Your town, my town

He workin' for the government
