There's a UN white and blue
Fell from half mast
Now half-covering a red shoe
Half-asked, if they were us,
What would we do?
Mr. Newsman send your wire
Let Washington conspire
You know the company men wait for you in their lair
But a moment is callin'
Callin' us all
As your one time supporters
Hang from media walls
And outside the gate
Fate is closing in
You can turn us down
But you can't deny the din
From the farmlands to the townships
The masses are classless
Warcries rise with every hour that passes
The trampled voice of the past that's seizing us
Go ahead and load the magazine
Cause them bullets are treasonous
(Quiet!)
Your leader is going to speak now
Everyone turn off your minds
(Quiet!)
Your listening to a raid on the state of your
Democracy in kind
But a moment is calling
Calling us all
As your one time supporters
Hang from media walls
And outside the gate
Fate is closing in
You can turn us down
But you can't deny the din
From the farmlands to the townships
The masses are classless
Warcries rise with every hour that passes
The trampled voice of the past that's seizing us
Go ahead and load the magazine
Cause them bullets are treasonous
(Quiet!)
Your leader is goin' to speak now
Everyone turn off your mind
(Quiet!)
You're listening to a raid on the state of your
Democracy in kind (3x)
A Democracy in
Hey for ya
Hey for ya
Hey for ya
Hey it's another
Hey for ya
Hey for ya
Hey for ya
(Quiet!)
Your leader is going to speak now
Everyone turn off your mind
(Quiet!)
Your listening to a raid on the state of your
Democracy in kind
