Peculate - Business Lesson 101 lyrics

Too many people are losing their chains The only thing they have to lose Too many people are noticing their chains That seems to happen when they move So let's make sure they can't We'll send in the army to keep them still Destroy their homes So they can't escape the chill And the sound of bombs falling In the cold night air We're giving them freedom! But all those ungrateful barbarians Do is despair We'll impose sanctions to Keep their food and medicine scant We'll enforce blockades Put the whole country on a diet The hungry stay quiet The sick and dying are obedient The starving are easy to appease The homeless are easy to please They'll buy whatever you want them to; They'll do whatever you want them to do; When they're dying and diseased Business lesson 101: Everyone's a customer If you try hard enough Make them need it And they'll buy your stuff You can make anyone a client If you sell it to ‘em right The secret is to Threaten them with violence The best kind of “voluntary a**ociation” Is the involuntary kind Force them into your economic empire Remind them they're choosing freedom! Empire guarantees customers The imperial customer is the most obedient And devoted of them all We're giving them freedom! But all those ungrateful barbarians Do is despair Do they even care? Why aren't they thanking us? We're giving them freedom We're selling them chains The least they could do is thank us
