My Travelog on Globalization and the Human Experience

Well I've been to California, where the grass is very brown
'Cause all the agribusiness took the water from our ground
We tried to rise in protest, but they surely shut us down
And now they go to bed without the fear we'll ever drown
Yes I've been everywhere, I've seen the valleys and the springs
I've seen the way we treat our animals and other human beings
But what makes me the most sad is what isn't clearly seen
The dark inside of everyman where lies their wicked greed
(Woah)
And I've been to the east coast where the businessmen do lie
I've seen them in their ivory towers set against the sky
Clean suits and fancy cars do not make you a man
Rather we love capitalism and burning the Qur'an
And all throughout the Midwest, the native lands are gone
They're swallowed up by factories and over watered lawns
And how have we repaid them? I ask you to respond
No banknote was ever wrote to release them from their bonds
Yes, I've been everywhere, I've seen the valleys and the springs
I've seen the way we treat our animals and other human beings
But what makes me the most sad is what isn't clearly seen
The dark inside of everyman where lies their wicked greed
(Woah)
Yes we are all a plague, we are a disease upon this earth
You have no idea the shit you caused the moment of your birth
Some of us are normal but some of us are worse
Our best-laid plans have turned this land into a fucking hearse
If we give you one thing more, I'm sure you'll take the lot
'Till there's no ground to stand on, this place is all we've really got
We're bleeding and we're broken, and our land has turned to rot
Come, stand and fight with me, you'll probably be shot
Yes, I've been everywhere, I've seen the valleys and the springs
I've seen the way we treat our animals and other human beings
But what makes me the most sad is what isn't clearly seen
The dark inside of everyman where lies their wicked greed
