Blimp Rock If My Friends Ran the Government lyrics

If my friends ran the government, they'd reward good bellies and laughing fits
Tax adults who are mean and know better, kindly suggest they write apology letters
If my friends did governing, they'd teach kids international financing
Help economics make sense to us all, then quietly destroy it and they'll somehow move on

(chorus)
And when the fat cats come a stumblin' through
my friends will hear them our and make sure they're wrong
Cause their rewarding good behaviour giving baked good to strangers, sharing beers, having times
If my friends ran the government I just might call their country mine

If my friends ran the house of commons you could say goodbye to all your car problems
Split the St. Lawrence down the 401, drift at your own pace to your destination

If my friends ran the cabinet, they'd institute the proper kind of parliament
Bootsy Collins and that fuzzy bass, you know they'd funk away excessive waste

(chorus)

If my friends ran the electorate, they'd pick up the pies and drop the ballots
Let in all with open hearts, and they'd knit newcomers cozy scarves
If my friends ran the government, they'd teach all the babies conflict resolution
And they will grow up kindest of them all, and then my friends' government will finally fall
