lyrics

Everybody's worried in the world today.
No one's too concerned here for a decent wage for people of third world nations; or their work environment.
(Uh, yeah.) "We're Resisting Tyrannical Government?"

Empathy!
We're blind to see in all of life's comfort, that people all across the world are suffering because of us.
Blissful ignorance teaches us to be who we want to be,
in an individualistic capitalist economy.

When you're viewing the world from a police state;
no one hears our screams to "Stop The Hate!"
The world has become victim to our demand,
we're saying no to change, you say "Yes We Can!"

They'll rationalize all their lies,
and refer any question you have to national pride.
Is democracy a hypocrisy?
Is today's empire, tomorrow's fire?

Look outside your window, do you see schools actually burning?
Across the world in the Gaza strip is that what those kids are learning?
We still can't see, how the nation state system bred inequality.
It's an invasion of global sovereignty.
Have we all forgotten about unity?

So we've occupied Afghanistan.
Our drones are blowing up Pakistan.
We can't have a nuclear armed Iran:
It's all that we could hope for.
Nation states who put up a fight;
we ignore their abuses of human rights.
It's not clear to you or me because corporate greed control the economy.

We're too concerned with our accomplishments.
We're indifferent to the consequences.
Collectively, we lack the common sense that we exude and pride ourselves on.
We don't really want anarchy.
We just want a way to express our identity.
If we really want empathy, this is not how we want to make our impression on the world...
