...And We Thought That Nation-States Were a Bad Idea - Propagandhi

«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
