Do you like bridges that don't fall, Planes in the air
Food to be roach free, With not too much hair
Or laws against sex trafficking, And less child labor
Some military folks Protecting you and your neighbor
Internet and the space program
Government created
The same Internet you use to say
How government is hated
Do you like having a library, Filled with books
Do you like when the police, Arrest some crook
Do you like to have some doctors, To help stop Ebola
Do you like how there's no more cocaine, In coca cola
This is the bridge to the song but in a libertarian world bridges might just collapse
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion but they're not entitled to their own facts
You can worship all day at the free market altar
But all the facts of history you just can't alter
Modern society needs a government strong
You say your libertarian I say you're just wrong
you’re just a bit too hung up on phony notions of ‘free’
Like Ayn Rand who collected social security
Your parents went to college on the GI Bill
Paid for by the government which you would like to kill
You drive on public roads and went to public schools
You may be nice in person I’m not saying you’re a fool
But this libertarian thing has gotten out of control
Don’t let some crazy doctrine eat away at your soul…
