Bob Dylan said in an interview For the 1970 intentionally underwhelming album Self Portrait That people need leaders more than the reverse point of view And so do you So get off the government’s property Or they’ll rig the functioning of the military and bring the full force on you Follow your leaders Because with your political views They think you’re blind people who can’t see the crowd And are simply fireplace thinkers But what about the people who have a bonfire which they share with heart Instead of having a hearth Get off the government’s property Run from place to place and observe propriety for a start To them we say go get a job To clean our urbane streets But they hope they don’t have to rob Or get owned or robbed So get off the government’s property Or they’ll own you literally and party members will get you mobbed They lay claim on all the money Making everything taxable instead of free For the poor who don’t even enter a tax bracket And always lie and beg on the streets and cause a blissfully ignored racket So please get off the government’s property While we enjoy your money as you stay off the stock market

Get Off The Government's Property
Bob Dylan said in an interview For the 1970 intentionally underwhelming album Self Portrait That people need leaders more than the reverse point of view And so do you So get off the government’s property Or they’ll rig the functioning of the military and bring the full force on you Follow your leaders Because with your political views They think you’re blind people who can’t see the crowd And are simply fireplace thinkers But what about the people who have a bonfire which they share with heart Instead of having a hearth Get off the government’s property Run from place to place and observe propriety for a start To them we say go get a job To clean our urbane streets But they hope they don’t have to rob Or get owned or robbed So get off the government’s property Or they’ll own you literally and party members will get you mobbed They lay claim on all the money Making everything taxable instead of free For the poor who don’t even enter a tax bracket And always lie and beg on the streets and cause a blissfully ignored racket So please get off the government’s property While we enjoy your money as you stay off the stock market
The government also owns the land we live on. Unless you're rich and can keep your rights as cards in your nice wallet.
