Peculate - Whose Child? lyrics

Whose child stays and whose child goes Is not a matter of fate; It's a matter of economics Whose child sings and whose child croaks Is just punishment for the Worst crime of all… Whose child stays and whose child goes Is not a matter of fate; It's a matter of economics Whose child sings and whose child croaks Is not subject to Some kind of Divine condemnation There is no divine; There is only condemnation Condemnation Human condemnation Political condemnation Economic condemnation And empire clings To the last vestiges Of its bloody entrails Yet these entrails Eat, and breathe; And drink, and think; And sleep, and weep; And live, and love And the “Free” Market clings To the last vestiges Of its bloody empires And children die in its wake But our leaders a**ure us; We're not the wrong ones They're the criminals We're innocent; They're guilty Them. They Their crime? Being born in the wrong part of the planet Their punishment? That's not for us to decide That's God's decision We have one obligation And one obligation alone We must defend our privilege By any means necessary (We repeat: We must defend our privilege By any means necessary.) Don't worry They tell us Their lives are less valuable They're necessary Human sacrifices In the name of freedom Their lives are less valuable They a**ure us They're just Human sacrifices In the name of… Their lives are less valuable They a**ure us They're just Human sacrifices In the name of Freedom We're just protecting our freedom Almighty Freedom We're just maintaining our lifestyle Our lifestyle Fulfilling the Dream They are always the oppressor And we are always the oppressed They are always the instigator We always act in self-defense We only act in self-defense Self-defense We only slaughter children In self-defense
