All YOUR government does, affects the rest of the world 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
