Western World
Hey, hey, western world
We've come so far
We got Nestle using child slaves
To make us chocolate bars
But who the hell cares?
As long as it benefits you
They signed a contract with the government
Now they own the water too
Nike and Wal-Mart
We are so proud of thee
Using sweat shop labor overseas
While we pretend not to see
I say, hey, hey, hey, hey western world
Pat yourself on the back
Join the army, trade your humanity
And keep this empire on track
Keep your head down
Pay no attention
Go to school, go to work
Pay taxes, not attention
Keep your head down
Pay no attention
Go to school, go to work
Pay taxes, not attention
Imperialists of the world, give yourselves a hand
UK, Israel, France, Canada, and of course, the US of A
The free market is more sacred
Than your petty human rights
Pretty soon we'll charge you monthly
For using the sunlight
But you better not use that sun
For your home energy
Because solar power is a loss
For the electric company
People tell me that I'm cynical
But I have nice dreams too
I watch the fancy cars of Scottsdale
Smashed into little cubes
Fuck you
Keep your head down
Pay no attention
Go to school, go to work
Pay taxes, not attention
Keep your head down
Pay no attention
Go to school, go to work
Pay taxes, not attention
Step right up, don't be shy
Everyone's a winner, everyone will die
Pay your taxes, pay your bills
Pay no attention to the people that it kills
Pay up, pony up, pay through the nose
Pay no attention to where that money goes
Trillion dollars missing, trillion dollars gone
Nothing left to do but to sing a pissed off song
Blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah
We've come so far
We got Nestle using child slaves
To make us chocolate bars
But who the hell cares?
As long as it benefits you
They signed a contract with the government
Now they own the water too
Nike and Wal-Mart
We are so proud of thee
Using sweat shop labor overseas
While we pretend not to see
I say, hey, hey, hey, hey western world
Pat yourself on the back
Join the army, trade your humanity
And keep this empire on track
Keep your head down
Pay no attention
Go to school, go to work
Pay taxes, not attention
Keep your head down
Pay no attention
Go to school, go to work
Pay taxes, not attention
Imperialists of the world, give yourselves a hand
UK, Israel, France, Canada, and of course, the US of A
The free market is more sacred

Pay taxes, not attention
Keep your head down
Pay no attention
Go to school, go to work

Step right up, don't be shy
Everyone's a winner, everyone will die
Pay your taxes, pay your bills
Pay no attention to the people that it kills
Pay up, pony up, pay through the nose
Pay no attention to where that money goes
Trillion dollars missing, trillion dollars gone
Nothing left to do but to sing a pissed off song
Blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah
