Maybe you like Peggy Sue and maybe you like Dick
Liberty seeks happiness and slavery is sick
I’ve seen bad moons a’rising, seen wonders lived a song
But I never thought I’d see the day when government is gone
Oh government is gone, sweet freedom, government is gone
We’ll govern by consent the day that government is gone.
When government is gone, sweet freedom, government is gone
Anarchy and liberty when government is gone.
I don’t care if you’re boogaloo or satyagraha guy
I don’t care if you plow the earth or gaze into the sky
Autonomy is primary yield liberty to none
I never thought I’d see the day when government is gone
Don’t care if you’re an ancom, ancap or something else
Don’t care if you like workers coops or wanna own it all yourself
Pluralistic tolerance respect for everyone
I never thought I’d see the day when government is gone
Oh government is gone, sweet freedom, government is gone ...
You might hear this thinking that it’s just pie in the sky
But look around and notice that the end of State is nigh
It won’t appear on television won’t occur by vote
It’s people realizing that the spook became a joke
Do rulers’ edicts matter when they cannot be enforced?
Are taxes really taxes when unpaid and just ignored?
With voluntary rights defense consent by everyone
I never thought I’d see the day when government is gone
Oh government is gone, sweet freedom, government is gone ...
