Government Constipation

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Yeah

Verse 1

Woke up in a suit that don't fit right

The memos stacked up to the ceiling

Somebody swore the ledger looked fine

I signed it twice without reading

Every hallway hums the same dull hymn

Every mouth moves

Nobody says a thing

The wheels grind on and on

Chorus

Constipation in the capital

Nothing comes out nothing gets through

Constipation in the capital

We hold it in we hold it in

(We hold it in)

We hold it in we hold it in

(We hold it in)

Verse 2

My uncle ran a paper down in Springs

Sold ads to men who never showed their hands

He taught me how a silence can persuade

How a whisper beats a marching band

Tell them what they want

Then tell them twice

By the third time they will swear they thought it up

Chorus

Constipation in the capital

Nothing comes out nothing gets through

Constipation in the capital

We hold it in we hold it in

(We hold it in)

We hold it in we hold it in

(We hold it in)

Bridge

I watched a tiny wasp

Drag a roach by the horn

Lay her eggs inside him

He walked on like nothing was born

Nobody lied to me

Nobody told the truth

Both are the same trade

Chorus

Constipation in the capital

Nothing comes out nothing gets through

Constipation in the capital

We hold it in we hold it in

(We hold it in)

We hold it in we hold it in

(We hold it in)

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Nothing comes out
