God And The Government

(álbum: Public Displays Of Affection - 2023)

I'm not one for domesticity
Yeah I'm pretty sure, I don't wanna get married
But if you told me you did
If you wanted a life with a wife and a kid

I'd paint the picket fence white put it up myself
Say I can do it alone
You'll tell me you know, but you'll still help
And that's exactly why you'll make the perfect husband
And I'll say I love you in front of god and the government

You know that if you ask
I'd take out my lip ring
I'd remove my tats for your American dream
And I'd make you a dad, not right now but someday
And when we have that brat, I'll be the head of their PTA

I'd paint the picket fence white put it up myself
Say I can do it alone
You'll tell me you know, but you'll still help
And that's exactly why you'll make the perfect husband
And I'll say I love you in front of god and the government

I take you to be my lawfully wedded husband
For tax purposes and or true love
Until death do us part or we break up
(Amen)

Happy wife, happy life
I could be happy with you
So if you thinking marriage might be something
You wanna do. Let's go, right now
I'll meet you at the courthouse

And if you're hearing this then here's what else...

I'll paint the picket fence...
I'll paint the picket fence...
I'll paint the picket fence...
I'll paint the picket fence...

I'd paint the picket fence white put it up myself
Say I can do it alone
You'll tell me you know, but you'll still help
And that's exactly why you'll make the perfect husband
And I'll say I love you, and I'll say that I do
And I'll say I love you in front of god... and the government
