...And We Thought That Nation States Were A Bad Idea |
| «Publicly subsidized! |
| Privately profitable!» |
| The anthem of the upper-tier, puppeteer untouchable |
| Focus a moment, nod in approval |
| Bury our heads back in the bar-codes of these neo-colonials |
| Our former nemesis, the romance of the 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 gotta worry about this kind 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 labour laws |
| Kept in place by displaced government death squads |
| They own us |
| They own us |
| Produce us |
| Consume us |
| They own us |
| They own us |
| Produce 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 all up in a flag, shit-rag, hooray |
