The federal government of the United States is the federal government of the constitutional republic of fifty states, one district, and several other territories that are the United States of America. The federal government comprises three distinct branches of government: a legislative, an executive and a judiciary. These branches and their various powers are delineated in the U.S. Constitution; the powers are specified in greater detail in laws enacted by Congress.
The seat of government of the United States is in Washington, D.C., a geographical area that is not located within any state. This has led to "Washington" commonly being used as a metonym for the U.S. federal government.
The outline of the government of the United States is laid out in the Constitution. The government was formed in 1789, making the United States one of the world's first, if not the first, modern national constitutional republic.
The United States government is based on the principle of federalism, in which power is shared between the federal government and state governments. The details of American federalism, including what powers the federal government should have and how those powers can be exercised, have been debated ever since the adoption of the Constitution. Some make the case for expansive federal powers while others argue for a more limited role for the central government in relation to individuals, the states or other recognized entities.
I stripped my faith on city pavements
To keep a smile
I got my legs from the US Goverment
To keep me alive
We are the ones that keep you down
We are the ones that won the grounds
While our arms surround
I filled my head with another replacement
To keep me high
I shot my soul when you wanted to take this
Your worst day's mine
We are the ones that keep you high
We are the ones that won the sky
With the bird and flyes
She's my river of sunshine
She's my girl
She can save the US
Save the world
She's all right
I'll be fine
These new you whips
Save your mind, come on!
I maybe nothing if you're just gonna waste me
But that's all right
I'll give you love if you wanna to taste that
And leave you behind
We are the keep you high
We are the burn your pride
And you're burning in cries
You're gonna make it
You're gonna suffer
I've been waiting for a song to come
Lead me through the gates of Rome
You're gonna know that they were never
Never yours to kill
Oh no, they were never
Never yours to kill
I've been waiting for the song to come
So you all was being done
You're gonna know that they were never
Never yours to kill
Oh no, they were never
Never yours to kill
You're gonna make it
