Nation States lyrics

[Verse 1]
"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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
And I'm just a kid
I can't believe I gotta worry about this kind of sh*t

[Chorus - Repeated]
What a stupid world

[Verse 3]
And it's beautiful
No regard for principle

[Chorus - Repeated]
What a stupid world
[Verse 4]
Born, hired, disposed
Where that job lands, everybody knows
You can tell by the smile on the CEO
Environmental restraints are about to go

[Verse 5]
You can bet laws will be set
To ensure the benefit
Of unrestricted labour laws
Kept in place by displaced government death squads

[Pre-Chorus]
They own us
They own us
Produce us
Consume us

[Pre-Chorus - Repeated]
They own us
They own us
Produce us
Consume us

[Bridge]
Can you f*cking believe?
[Chorus - Repeated]
What a stupid world

[Outro]
f*ck this bullsh*t display of class-loyalties
The media and "our" leaders wrap it all up in a flag, sh*t-rag, hooray
