Johnny got busted, the summer of 75
And I got a message through,
it was a counterculture sacrifice
The government may stand,
the government may fall
But this only one government
means anything to me at all
She rules me, like the government of love
She rules me,
like the government of love
And she moves me like the governments
of love
Now we're all out on bail,
1990s style
We're paying it off bit by bit,
though it just might take a while
But all you have to do is write,
all you have to do is call
Cos there's only one thing around
here means anything at all
She rules me like the government of love
She rules me
And she moves me like the
government of love
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Have you found a future?
Have you found it at all?
How you gonna find a future
when you're never going to do anything
about it at all?
So now I walk the streets,
and everybody's got long hair
Velvet dungarees,
with psychedelic flares
It's such a long time, after all
I can't remember when my
fault meant anything at all
So, she rules me like the
government of love
And she moves me like
a government of love
And she proves me like a
government of love
Now it might be a minority position
To try to walk before you can crawl
Oh well, there is still one
majority decision
After all, if you can call
The government of love
The government of love
This is the government of love
The government of love
The government of love
Like a government of love
Like a government in hell

With the government
Like a government of love
Like a government of love
Street lights never going out
Like a government of love
Like a government of love
Like a government of love
Did I mention
Lucille
Ball?
Let's mention her
Lucille
Ball
Like a government of love
