lyrics

We have created a system.
A system of pure liberty.
A system that will never fall.
Because it is the greatest system of them all.
Welcome to the end of history.

The rich rule.
And the rest get one day
to pick their rich ruler.
Some call it plutocracy.
We call it capitalist “democracy.”
It’s the most efficient order.
It’s the natural way.

We have attained freedom.
Absolute freedom
for the predator to feed on the prey.
Freedom for the privileged over all.

And we will defend this privilege
by any means necessary.
If we have to crush the ungrateful barbarians,
so be it.
We will call up our monetary mercenaries.
We will send in the loans and the guns and the military.

This is what happens when they
try to assert themselves.
We’ll bring them democracy
whether they like it or not.
They’ll invest in the chain industry.
Or else.

We’re bringing them democracy
at the point of a gun.
We’re bringing them democracy
at the tip of a bomb.

And by “democracy” we mean capitalism.
