Oh, they cry they wants a smaller government.
That the federal government is into their business too much.
They cry it loud.
But most states , are the feds step-child.

Instantly when storms, tornadoes comes.
Here the small government complainers knocking upon their doors.

Then look closer.
Look closer and see the government constantly grows.
Small government simply a dream.

Except in those small towns with that one red light.
One grocery store, one doctor seeking clients.
Whatever power that big government has?
Be alert, we gave it to them.

Laws must be created to protect the innocent.
And smart politicians alerted to this.
Dreams of old is simply that.

Like a reflection looking back.
