[Noam Chomsky]
Imagine yourself in an outside position, looking from Mars
What do you see?
Total Collapse!

This kind of vicious cycle in progress
Concentration of wealth yields, concentration of power
The masters of mankind
Have never liked democracy and for very good reasons
Very good reasons
Democracy puts power into the hands of general population and takes it away from them
And takes it away from them
And takes it away from them

The masters of mankind
The masters of mankind
It's financial institutions and multinational corporations
And they're following the vile maxim:
"All for ourselves and nothing for anyone else"

So we have this kind of a vicious cycle in progress
A vicious cycle in progress
A vicious cycle in progress
A vicious cycle in progress
Concentration of wealth yields, concentration of power
Concentration of wealth yields, concentration of power
Particularly so as the cost of elections, skyrockets
Which kind of forces the political parties into the pockets of major corporations
And this political power quickly translates into legislation
That increases the concentration of wealth
And in the absense of a general popular reaction
Ah, that's pretty much what you'd expect
Ah, that's pretty much what you'd expect
Ah, that's pretty much what you'd expect

If Democracy means freedom, why aren't our people free?
If Democracy means justice, why don't we have justice
If Democracy means equality, why don't we have equality
(Reaction)
None of us will beget any violence
If there's any violence it will be because of the police

(Reaction)

And that caused great fear
