A Good Citizen

When i hear someone referred to as a good citizen i feel like laughing aloud Your government approves of you big brother of you proud But if you die tomorrow the government won't care To them you are just a number and your type are not rare, The government and big brother you do not need to impress Their approval or disapproval will not ease your cares and stress The one who is a good friend to the neighbour is surely far more great Than the one big brother looks upon as a good friend of the State, The good citizens pay their taxes and work hard for their pay And they vote in a lousy Government on National election day And good citizens dob in their fellow citizen to the police for a minor traffic offence In their quest for big brother's approval they sacrifice common sense And many more good citizens they passed away today They worked hard and voted in a lousy government and their taxes they did pay.
