All Your Government Does - Heideroosjes

They want you lazy

They want you fat

They want you lazy, want you fat and afraid

Wouldn’t it be right if the entire world could vote for the president in the

land of the free?

The US rules our world so we all should get a chance to keep that treasure of

democracy

But now, just you, only you can change the powers that be

Only you, not me, you can vote for better if you disagree

What the United States demands

The rest of the world has to understand

What your government decides

It can start a new war or finish old fights

Your vote reaches out world-wide

I am not a US-citizen, I have no right to vote, I can only sing this song

About the way your choice affects my world and why to me that feels wrong

For you, for me, maybe you can change the powers that be

For you, for me, for those who are too blind to see

What the United States demands

The rest of the world has to understand

What your government decides

It can start a new war or finish old fights

Your vote reaches out world-wide

All YOUR government does, affects the rest of the world
