The world belongs to us.
( From the oppressed of the world to the oppressors of the world)
No politicians
creating their false divisions
while the real ones are hidden
and ignored
we won't be PaCIFIED
or eat your bread CRUMBs
while you sit on your THUMBS
we will not be DENIED
denied
(chorus) The world belongs to us
no nations
no borders
no classes
no orders
no cops
no bosses
and no hierarchy.
only justice
peace
everything
for everyone....
only anarchy
...
because the world belongs to us.
You robbed our lands
claimed it as your PROPERTY
got rich on our labour
make us work in your CITY
with wages meagre
we live in POVERTY
but the world belongs to us
You tried to police our bodies
say how we should use THEM
you either objectify us
or you're the first to CONDEMN
but the world belongs to us
You try to tell us we should either be
or want to be with
a woman or a man
forgetting all the uncounted
who don't fit into
this mythic plan
we'll decide for ourselves…
because the world belongs to us
You offer us life on the dole
or working in your SHOPS
we work for something better
and you send in the COPS
but this world belongs to us
The Landlords try their luck
pushing up the rent
the bosses pay minimum wage
so we wonder where our money went
but the world belongs to us
The bankers make a crisis
and we're paying for IT
they get fat on bonuses
while we're ground into the SHIT
well this world belongs to us
Union bureaucrats tell us we should give them our dues
but if we decide for ourselves, have a wildcat strike
they will ignore us or denounce us
independent thought and action
is something they dislike
but the world belongs to us.
They try to separate us with their national flags
talk of 'national interest' while there's homeless folks
living in the streets in rags
these are the same folks who called us
"niggers", "savages" and "fags"
forget them, the world belongs to us.
They send us to fight in battles not our own
they should fight their own bloody wars
and not bother us, let us stay home
because the world belongs to us
They have imperialist empires and their colonies,
people of colour everywhere livin' on their knees
outsourcing oppression
to sweatshops run
by third world companies
- gunboat democracy -
they do as they please
but the world belongs to us.
They keep us quiet with technology and TV
while the media manipulates our opinions
till the masters ideas seem like the only reality
but the world belongs to us.
They pollute our rivers
and they pollute the sea
put the climate into chaos
and tell us this is how things need to be
act like addicts in the pursuit
of oil
Fracking our beauty spots
poisoning the globe
and ruining the Soil
forgetting this world belongs to us.
What do you get if you shop fair trade?
A false alternative
Capitalism made.
They sell us 'progress'
when it's just history re-played
but the world belongs to us.
They try to trick or treat us
that our last chance
is with the ballot box
but you should learn a politician's
lying every time one talks
they act like the shepherd
watch the sheep
as everyone of them bleats
but don't kid yourself
your not cattle to be farmed
our real power is in the streets
because the world belongs to us.
The world belongs to us
no nations
no borders
no classes
no orders
no cops
no bosses
and no hierarchy.
only justice
peace
everything
for everyone....
only anarchy ! ! ! !
