Civilty
Why they'd be running a Post Office
I'll never know
And why they need a hotel
I’d dare to go
For all the government’s business
is never meant to be
When all their money made
is taken from a fee
And saying that they're working
when just for you and me
When all they do for others
is take what money’s free
And put us into debt
for making problems key
When falling into circumstance
of mocking civilty
