Dear fellow citizens Dear fellow occupants Dears sisters in brave And dear comrades in arms We might overcome That we unbalance life That goes without saying Attempted to follow - yes sir - a straight line My share of the blame I've got to say I deserve I believed in their lies I believed in their lies When all of the beauty seems just to be wrong Then all of their wordings seem to belong To their everyday prozac, their everyday lies That they're everyday bangin' in my day-to-day mind
And the music turns minor And we buy prepacked needs And black condoms for our pleasure Or their 'pleasure strategies' And we all are invited To their big bingo show And we dance to their music From alt. to well-known And we raise up our hands And we take this for real But we should not agree to their predicted deal
We live in their bulletproof-single-apartments While planning family-trees And talk about taking action While wearing their Diesel-Jeans We don't sweat we shit perfume We're not ugly, We're a delight Kept in uniforms And shopping-malls We are pre-rendered dolls Educated for their system Cultivated, liberalised And ready-made And Hollywood-movie-sized
And we all are invited To their big bingo show And we dance to their music From alt. to well-known And we raise up our hands And we take this for real But we should not agree to their predicted deal NO!
We shall overcome one day And beat their monitoring arms And spray graffitis on their walls To let them know that we're no longer their obedient toys We shall overcome one day Deep in my heart, I do believe That we can defeat This mess that we've bought - so far
They won the people's choice award Declared the speech-writer's pen But we have never really have been asked To put a cross beside their names But we all are invited To their big bingo shows And we dance to their music From alt. to well-known And we raise up our hands And we take this for real But we should not agree to their predicted deal NO!
We shall overcome one day And beat their monitoring arms And spray graffitis on their walls To let them know that we're no longer their obedient toys We shall overcome one day! And dear fellow citizens And dear fellow occupants And dear sisters in brave And dear comrades in arms: We shall overcome! Shall overcome one day Deep in my heart, I do believe That we can defeat This mess that we've bought So far
