Lyrics (still up to date!)

Well you can build a lot of buildings that
you want in this world
Till a man can't see a thing
Keep on spraying the crops with your
suicide juice
Till the birds no longer sing
Speeding up the production line of
automobiles and make a profit
that the labour won't bring

But I'm telling you that a short cut
is gonna draw blood
'Cause I'm tellin' you that a short cut
is gonna draw blood
And your gonna get your face
pushed in the mud

Well you can build all the aeroplanes and
the bombs that you want
But you know it don't scare me
You can build a brick wall around the
entire population
And try and tell them that they're free
And you keep on drilling for your
precious oil
Untill you even mess up the sea

But I'm telling you ...

Well you been wheelin' and dealin' like
a man with ten arms
Just to keep your lifestyle grand
You been puttin' on pressure and squeezin'
the earth like a snake
With an iron hand
You got to kill off every Indian in the jungle
that's living
And take away their land

But I'm telling you...

Well you keep on spewing out your dirt
and your filth
Till the earth begins to choke
Keep on playing your stupid games with
your dagger and your cloak
But you won't get me workin'
in your factory
Because I thrown away the yoke

But I'm telling you....
