Government Trash Lyrics

Well you can't say nothin'
We're doin' right
'Cause the Government Trash
Will give me up all night

'Cep for drugs so hard
They need to break their banks
Don't step on the crack
'Cause you know about that, oh

21, 21, Nobody knows anything at 21
22, 22, Nobody knows anything at 22

She's alright, alright
She'll make it alright, alright

It's not a secret
Everybody has decided
Look in the mirror
Starin' back in those eyes

Don't stop thinkin'
Now pass the phone
I said do what you want
But just leave me alone

Nothin' is free
Call the police
They dress to care
I dress to die, oh

It's not a secret
Everybody has decided
Look in the mirror
Starin' back in those eyes

Don't stop thinkin'
Now pass the phone
I said do what you want
But just leave me alone

Government Trash Song Chart

This explosive track was released as the second single from The Physical World. "I'm happy that song came out just as crazy s--t was happening in Ferguson, Missouri," Death From Above frontman and drummer Sebastien Grainger told The Guardian, referring to the shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed teenager who was killed by a police officer.

"The second verse was written while watching Boston being occupied by police after the marathon bombing. What the f--k was going on? That s--t happened at the G20 summit in Toronto in 2010, too; kids got thrown in jail for absolutely no reason."

Grainger believes the bass-led song is the most ambitious thing his DFA partner, Jesse F. Keeler, has done. "I was encouraging him to play the s—t out of the bass," he told NME, "play the craziest thing he could play, and then tried to keep up."
