So you want a nation?
Your very own nation
Push the machine aside
Many have triedWe have always been there
We will always be there
Making sure you need us
And feed usWe got the money
We got the power
We got the guns
We got TVYou are our livestock
We make you love it
Slave and dream for escape
But scared to death of changeWant to hear my speech?
Want to share my thoughts?
Protest! protest!Come now
Is it worth the hassle?
Worth all your precious time?
You'll grow old, you'll give upWe farm you
We milk you
Your energy's for us to drain
Office, sweatshop, plantation, the sameI 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 surviveThe only game we know
We must have more and more
Make more, take more
Control moreYou are our marketplace
Not a community
No subcommandante ski-mask
Will lead you to no promised landWant to hear my speech?
Want to share my thoughts?
Protest! protest!
