... 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
