The melody used in this video is essentially a happy, folky tune that initially makes you think of apple pie and 1950s baseball stars. But the footage of governments beating citizens, killing foreign ‘enemies’, and destroying the planet makes a strong contrast to the upbeat rhythm of the song.

The lyrics are also loaded with a snarky dig at our current political system and those who govern over (rather than alongside) the rest of us. It criticizes the hierarchical pyramid structure and asks: What have governments actually done for us?

This is a clip from the 2014 documentary
What Governments Have Done: Political Power And The Human Emergency
by Mark Corske and Lifting The Veil.
