	Story Behind the Song The lyrics are not meant to be taken literally, however most of it is actually happened. Yes, I did have my car repossesed, live with a nut case for a roomate, have no money, get dumped by my girlfriend, seek a new life. The "Stinking Government" title originally was a reference to cigarettes, since at the time I was quitting smoking for the second time and chewing Nicorette by the boxful. I reworked the lyric to point to my own mental government and the desire to make a positive change in my life. It was a time when all things seemed to suck. Lyrics VERSE 1 Take my car and sanity reposses me you took my love like candy well then eat me you pushed me in the water with nothing but a quarter and left me there to die 'cause you know I can't swim but I learned to float 'cause I'm lighter than you think CHORUS into another life down roads that lead to love again I wave to you bye bye and overthrow your stinkin' government VERSE 2 tempt me with the smoke again until my eggs burn I burned my sockets and held my breath for you was living with a psycho too late but how did I know I was down there on the floor when you kicked my dreams you can't touch me now 'cause I'm higher than you think CHORUS BRIDGE you a banana peel on the floor I tripped on you VERSE 3 afraid I'm laughing in your face 'cause it feels good you can't kill me now 'cause I'm wiser than you think CHORUS
