Lyrics

...And We Thought that Nation States Was A Bad Idea

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.

Publicly subsidized! Privately profitable!

The anthem of the upper-tier, puppeteer untouchable

Focus a moment, nod in approval, bury our heads

In the bar-codes of these neo-Colonials

Our former nemesis, the romance of a nation-state

Now plays fundraiser for a new brand of power-concentrate

Try again, but now we're confused: What is class war?

Is this class war? Yes, this is class war

And I'm just a kid

I can't believe I have to worry about this type of shit

What a stupid world!

And it's beautiful, no regard for principle

What a stupid world!

Born, hired, disposed

Where that job lands, everybody knows

You can tell by the smile on the CEO

Environmental restraints are about to go

You can bet laws will be set

To ensure the benefit

Of unrestricted labor laws

Kept in place by displaced government death squads

They own us (they own us)

They own us (they own us)

Produce us (produce us)

Consume us (consume us)

They own us (they own us)

They own us (they own us)

Produce us (produce us)

Consume us (consume us)

Can you fucking believe?

What a stupid world

Fuck this bullshit display of class loyalties

The media and our leaders wrap it up in a flag, shit-rag, hooray
