The global chain industry
Must capitalize
It must control everything around it
Lest it stifle potential profit
The global chain industry
Must accumulate
Capital, labor
Nature, lives
The global chain industry
Must expand or die
Resources might be confined
To a planet that is finite
But the chain industry demands
Infinite growth
Infinite gains
To not heed its commands would prove
A most dire mistake—
The world might lose its chains
Empire has a heartbeat
You can hear it if you just
Stay quiet and listen
Empire has a heartbeat
You can hear it if you just
Work hard and stay obedient
Fret not
The global chain industry
Is a conscientious one
Imperial heartbeats
Omnipresent
Always beating
Omnivorous
Always eating
Imperial heartbeats are the
Sounds of its subjects
Trying to breath
Trying to live
Palpitations of stifled life
Stifled life
Or stifled profit?
Choose one
(The question is
Whose life?
Whose profit?)
Palpitations of stifled profit
Imperial heartbeats
Beat the life
Out of you
Listen
Can you hear?
That's the sound of freedom
Freedom upon the horizon
Can you feel it?
Pain is weakness leaving the body—
The body
That same vessel empire beats like a drum
In a desperate attempt to show some sign of life
Any at all
Repeat after me
