lyrics

Are you enjoying your helping
of economic content?
Now the courses are ready
and the table’s been set.
So lick the blood off you plate now,
and c’est la vie to regret.

None of us decide where we are born,
but we can choose the way we live.
Are we compelled to just weather the storm,
or push ahead with all we have to give?

Or push ahead with all we have to give?
And the salient fact is this:
We’ve all been consigned to do as our masters please.

Are we resigned to follow fate,
and to repeat all of our ancestors' mistakes?
Or do we choose this place and time
to make our stand and fight?

If no one ever dreamed of
a better world than their own
We’d never make any progress.
We’d still bow to a throne.

None of us can hide from who we are.
Embrace, not erase our differences,
and push ahead with all we have to give.

And push ahead with all we have to give.
But the truth is inconvenient,
and it’s by design we’re so easily deceived.

Are we resigned to follow fate,
and to repeat all of our ancestors' mistakes?
Or do we choose this place and time
to make our stand and fight?

Are you enjoying your privilege?
