Phillip Morris and R.J. Reynolds kill every single pack   McDonald's sues London Greenpeace for presenting the public with the facts   Disney expands its international market with help from the CIA   Coors uses consumer support to help finance the KKK   Ending oil protests with executions Nigeria belongs to Shell   Pepsi dealt with the oppressive regimes in the Phillipines to build another Taco Bell   General Motos creates competition with their "whipsawing" tactics role   Dupont alone is responsible for four percent of the ozone layer hole   Public opinion lobotomized    Civilized bloodbath   Smoke screen security   Civilized bloodbath   Populations prioritized   Civilized bloodbath   Third-world trophy   Civilized bloodbath   Texaco's diseased people of the Amazon and Indonesia   Vivisections performed by Gillette and Unilever   Walmart moves in to monopolize and rape communities   Nestle is responsible for third-world deaths from baby bottle disease   Johnson and Johnson's anti-diarrhea-drops killed children in Pakistan   Chinese immigrant slave labor make Levis Dockers in Saipan   The FDA has approved irridating food for Vindicator   Forests are clearcut by Mirsubishi, Maxxam, and Stone Container   Civilized bloodbath   Civilized bloodbath   Civilized bloodbath   Civilized bloodbath   We all like to point the finger at the faceless company   But the corporation machine consists of people like you and me   By existing in this society we all share the guilt   We're all responsible for the misery the multinationals have built   We all add to the list of victims the companies compile   By believing any of us are innocent we're living in denial   We are all a part of the problem no matter how hard we try   We help to create these conditions with everything we buy   Public opinion lobotomized    Civilized bloodbath   Smoke screen security   Civilized bloodbath   Populations prioritized   Civilized bloodbath   Third-world trophy   Civilized bloodbath   The self-riteousness of judgement is something that no human being   has the luxury to pass. Every single one of us survive at the expense   of other living things. Although our very existence contradicts our   effects our struggle is still relevant in relieving the burdens that   we create, but our involvment is based on individual beliefs and   ambitions. Hope needs to be nurtured, compassion and understanding   will not grow out of scrutiny. Encouragement and tolerance is the    only way that activism will evolve from indifference.   (This was your life)   Conditioning is simple and you keep it that way   Ignorance is bliss when you stay stale and stagnant   Too old to care and too little to matter   Anarchy is now 9 to 5, wallet's a bit fatter   Once full of piss and vinegar now full of shit and dope   Freedom isn't easy I guess you couldn't cope   You gave into the pressure someone greased your hand   Just remain passive it's the safest place to stand   So to your feelings stay immune   And the bullshit they feed you, continue to consume   Consume   We've got ways of keeping you in line   Keeping you numb, dumb, and weak   Things to keep your mind off of us   So intimidated that you dare not speak   You fucking know that we police the street   We know who to watch, we know how to beat   We know what you do and where you go   We'll dress like you and go to your shows   To sell you the shit that destroys your brain   That you snort up your nose or shoot in your vein   We'll start a riot at your police brutality benefit   And keep it from spreading contain the threat   Until you destroy yoursevles, defeat yourselves,   Burn yourselves and kill yourselves   We'll put a McDonald's on every street   That's where you'll work, that's where you'll eat   For minimum wage, for student wage   For poverty and malnutrition   And we'll stock your grocery store shelves full of shit   And keep it open for a couple of years before we torch it   That's simply the way it's going to be so get used to it   Get used to it if you're going to take our shit   So don't try to protest or organize   Because we're too fucking strong, don't you realize   That we keep you fighting amongst yourselves, we keep you seperate   And without unity you'll be no threat   We keep pointing the finger at you and you   Never really knowing who turns the screw   And now you're trapped like a rat on a sinking ship   And it's sinking fast so get used to it   Get used to it you're going to take our shit   All you'll get is what we'll fucking let   Your college campus with your liberal views   An education or your head in a noose   And after you graduate where will you go   You'll have nowhere to live and nothing to show   Come put on a suit and come work for us   You'll become everything you hate and all you disgust   You'll forget who you were, what you did, and what you stood for   You'll be trapped in your office   You'll be trapped in traffic   You'll be trapped in your home   You'll be trapped in your church   You'll be trapped in your mind   Trapped like rats on the same sinking ship   Trapped again and getting used to it   And when you grow old with your husband or with your wife   You'll be used to it, you'll be used to it   And to think that your whole fucking life   You took our shit   Capitalism is responsible for the lifestyle you've enjoyed   Who cares about the people slain be thankful you're employed   It's not about comsumer choice, it's not about convenience   It's not about the billions made, it's all about indifference   So lay your trust upon us it's your quality of life we'll enhance   Realize the benefits and the fact that without us you don't stand a chance   We've built dependence upon a structure that you have to trust   So if you try to destory our system we're going to take you with us   The public relations industry studies our every move   Constantly advising corporations how they can improve   Their profits, their monopolies, their uncompromising growth   And how to beed the consumer for everything they're worth   Their wealth exists off of our labor and our willingness to consume   Manipulated by every medium the public just assume   That their innocent, unbiased forums exist solely to entertain   While the industries we work for are just out to reclaim   The wages they've paid us to produce the markets demands   Every cent we've ever earned makes it back into their hands   Enhancing their wealth, enhancing their claim, achieving their domination   Maintaining their power, maintaining their reign, they're gaining from exploitaton   Sacrificing humanity for the good of industry   Is the fault the result of them or our own stupidity   Do they possess that much influence over everything we do   Are the consequences of our actions ever really thought through   Do we truly understand how one person can make a difference   By developing individual thought free from outside interference   Our own struggle for survival comples us to drop it   Should our compassion be cashed in for profit   When you are the victim of your government's attack   It should only be natural to want to fight back   But when they've relentlessly progammed you your entire existence   We tried to make a difference but what have we actually achieved   Have we put up any obstacles or just helped them to succeed   Have we constructed any bridges or just built another wall   Have our beliefs and our ideals accomplished anything at all   Have we ever caused our leaders to change a single thing   Have we ever been a threat or just puppets on a string   Have we wasted all of our time painting pictures for the blind   While we've created isolation have we changed a single mind   Have we had enought sense to learn from our mistakes   Are we prepared for personal sacrifices no matter what it takes   Are we willing to work together putting differences aside   Or is compormise too much to rish damaging our pride   Do we have enough hope to still find trust in someone else   Do we have the compassion to fight the problems that don't directly affect ourselves   Have we ever stood a chance or have our efforts been naive   Have we bought into their lies of what they tell us to believe   It still is your option what path to choose   Don't let the only change yo make be in your views   Like if you can't fight everything why bother to try   You can learn from the hypocracies you used to deny   Is it all a charade or do you actually mean it   Do your ideals only surface when it's politically convenient   You're stuck in society's trap and although you're tryin to cope   If you can't change yourself, you'll lose more than just hope   So the next time you're down on your knees just remember   The plight of the oppressed ends with the oppressor   And if it's easier for you to live under that oppression   They they've already got you as their possession
