Lyrics
Politricks
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So you want a nation?
Your very own nation?
Push the machine aside
Many have tried
We have always been there
We will always be there
Making sure
You need us
And feed us
We got the money
We got the power
We got the guns
We got TV
You are our livestock
We make you love it
Slave and dream for escape
But scared to death of change
Want to hear my speech? No!
Want to share my thoughts? No!
Protest, protest!
(...)
Come now
Is it worth the hassle?
Worth all your precious time?
You'll grow old, you'll give up
We farm you, we milk you
Your energy's for us to drain
Office - Sweatshop
Plantation - The Same
I know we can survive our choice
I know we can be what we want to be
I know we can survive
I know we will survive
The only game we know
We must have more and more
Make more, take more
Control more
You are our marketplace
Not a community
No subcommandante ski-mask
Will lead you to no promised land
Want to hear my speech? No!
Want to share my thoughts? No!
Protest, protest!
