in fact, i'm a dolt and i'm whining - so gimme, i'm owed it
i bleed to be a wealthy do-nothing, so ration - want to own their elation
keep me proud, i need my self-esteem
and i'll make no smiles without money, true
don't ever touch my stamps for food, such is overdue
keep providing, cuz i'm owed food and what gives me feelings that excite too
and i bleed for you righteous earners who have yours
drop another dime, might it go into my purse
come on - i'm in need, so take your bank and give me some - make my day,

i say
i want gov'ment's help to get me through this semi-charmed kind of life (save me, save me)
i want gov'ment's help, i'm not giving - i just may...rely

my life does blow, i love coke, i love taking sips of it through my nose
and i live cuz dudes pay taxes monthlay
that gives smiling visions, riches for a bang
ooh, like crystal meth that will make-up and compensate, i'm so blocked
i'm so brought-down, esteem's not,
and i sniff what gets me to love what i've got
cuz when your luck sucks, you'll look for jizzum - any reason
to be something great, to be what they say's the best
how do i get back there to the place where i didn't need what's approved?
how do i get myself back to the days when i led?

i want gov'ment's help to get me through this semi-charmed kind of life (save me, save me)
i want gov'ment's help, i'm not giving - i just may...rely

i believe that the self-esteem is owed to me, get me feeling i'm worthy
please me, i believe i should take what's yours -
what is yours should surely change to mine
when i need shoes and see yours, i will whine until life is soc'lized -
they're mine

and, yes, i've made my bed - i said i won't nap there
to hell with the kingly ambition, i live so i sure should feel alive
but how i'm struggling to survive, don't say i've a barren and empty head
your life-edict is much success, you're given a pass when you're talented
i'd love to have done ev'rything (that) found you in sag-aftra

when you told me to set a goal, then...
it's not all that i've gotta do, luck for me ain't found
i feel myself getting not-so proud, you're where i'm not - fuck your house
my life don't touch your high-life - you've got it all, won't stop to give me mine
cuz nothing is soc'lized, that bites

i want gov'ment's help to get me through this life (save me)
i want gov'ment's help - not giving, i just may rely, rely rely-i-i
relyyyyyyyyyyy!

my life does blow, i love coke, i love taking sips of it through my nose
and i live cuz dudes pay taxes monthlay - that gives me a payment for a paraaaaaaarty

i want gov'ment's help
