Propagandhi - Nation States lyrics

"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
