All These Governors Lyrics by The Evens

The Evens

2005

When things should work, but don't work
When things should work
When things should work, but don't work
When things should
When things should work, but don't work
That's the work of all these governors
Interference by decree
That's the work of all these governors
They block, they block, they block
That's the work of all these governors
When things should work, but don't work
That's the work of all these governors
You puzzled up the air with their information
Panels have been formed to sell the combination
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Annual review and a cop on every corner
Handing out rewards for snitching on informers
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
When things should work, but don't work
That's the work of all these governors
When things should work, but don't work
That's the work of all these governors
They're always looking after me
That's the work of all these governors
They walk, but never for the distance
That's the work of all these governors
When things should work, but don't work
That's the work of all these governors
While we're down and on all fours
Let's scratch their names into the floor
So we won't wait
We won't wait for all these governors
So we won't wait
We won't wait for all these governors
So we won't wait
We can't wait for all you governors
