about

This track was later released in 2006 on E.P. #9 under the same title.

lyrics

CORPORAL CORPORATE IS FLYING HIGH
TOOK CONTROL OF THE STATE'S ENERGY SUPPLY
PRICES FOR POWER SOARED OVERNIGHT
A SCHEME DREAMED UP UNDER CHENEY'S WATCHFUL EYE
PRIVATE ENERGY RUNS ITSELF INTO THE GROUND
AND PROCEEDS TO SHAKE THE STATE GOVERNMENT DOWN
FOR A TAXPAYER FUNDED BAILOUT
WHILE EDUCATION AND THE ARTS ARE TOTALLY CUT OUT

YOU DON'T REALIZE THERE'S A DISEASED TREE
UNTIL YOU'RE TOSSED A ROTTEN APPLE
AND YOU DON'T CUT THE BRANCHES TO STOP THE DISEASE
YOU JUST UPROOT THE WHOLE FUCKING TREE

THE WORLD BANK AND THE I.M.F.
LEFT ARGENTINA QUITE A MESS
PRIVATIZED THEIR PUBLIC WORKS
PUT NINETY-THOUSAND OUT OF WORK
A GLIMPSE OF WHAT IS SURE TO COME
WHEN THE W.T.O. HAS FINALLY WON
ECONOMIES OF CRIPPLED COUNTRIES
SEIZED BY GREEDY CORPORATE THIEVES

YOU DON'T HAVE TO RELY ON MONEY OR FAITH
YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK A CERTAIN WAY
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY IN BULK TO SAVE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A CORPORATE SLAVE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO VOTE FOR BUSH OR GORE
WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE
AND SO BEGINS A WORLD WAR................................
