I did my best to make it in the world,
I plowed by sweat in tears into the fertile
Generation, generation generated
What was needed for supply to meet demand
The sun shone bright on the ancient range,
Then the promise of the future
Turned the Neo-Liberal Plan,
The people’s voice shut up, shut down, abstain
Is it gonna take a martyr to end the charade?
They tell you that you’re out of luck
While people fall
They watch their profits rocket up
[Chorus:]
S.O.S., this is a global call,
You better make a stand,
You better make it now,
Take back your rights from the IMF,
World Bank and Monsanto
S.O.S., this is a global call,
You better make a stand,
You better make it now,
Corporatocracy leads to profits for killers,
Profits for killers, no!
Geneva to Washington, Cancun to Seoul
The Corporate Welfare State
Running out of control,
The Corprocrats have got the guns,
But their numbers are few,
They can kill democracy,
But they cannot kill the truth
(So!) Step out on the matrix of the corporate slave
(So!) Step into the world of the living wage
Not for one, not for two, not for three or four
But for every single citizen around the fucking world
The people in the fight of our lives
The spark of revolution in a farmers’ suicide
[Chorus]
When they wage war on you, you lay asleep,
When they poison your food, you choose to drink
There’s poison in the well!
Yeah!
(Stand Up! Resist!)
Monsanto are killers, k-k-k-k-killers
(Stand Up! Resist!)
Syngenta are killers, k-k-k-k-killers
(Stand Up! Resist!)
The World Bank are killers, k-k-k-k-killers (Stand Up! Resist!)
(Stand Up! Resist!)
The WTO are killers, k-k-k-k-killers
(Stand Up! Resist!)
Oh no…
