The Government Stole My iPod Lyrics by Blood and Water

Self-Titled

2008

[police sirens]
Driving down the road with my new permit in hand
They see me driving, say I’m driving
Like a stinking madman
What is the purpose of a permit
If you can’t make mistakes?
All those teenage drivers drive
Like they don’t have any breaks, go!
Yeah birthdays come and birthdays go
And I got lots of cash
And I’ve been saving for the iPod since the first of last
Year and now I finally have enough (Hurray!)
But now I find myself smiling for that camera as I
Drive right on through
That intersection
The red light staring me down
There’s no mercy for a kid with a simple mistake
I see that gavel coming down, go!
The government
The government
Has got me now
And now I’ll have to pay a big fat price for this
I’ll take some time to look at the fine
My dreams are crushed by that little black line
The government
The government
Has got me now
And now I’ll have to pay a big fat price for this
I’ll take some time to look at the fine
My dreams are crushed by that little black line
My money’s gone
To pay this off
I can say goodbye
To what I want
The iPod of my dreams is good as gone
And I can’t help but sit and wonder
Where did I go wrong
And did a stupid kid like me end up
With such an awful fate?
Then I realized
That the cash I was fined
Was exactly the same
As the money that I
Saved for that iPod
Like the government
Planned it all along
Then I realized
That the cash I was fined
Was exactly the same
As the money that I
Saved for that iPod
Like the government
Planned it all along
That’s why
The government stole my iPod
The government stole my iPod
The government stole my iPod
The government stole my iPod
The government stole my iPod
The government stole my iPod
The government stole my iPod
The government stole my iPod
The gov-ern-ment
Ooo-ooo-yeah-yeah
The government stole my iPod
