All Your Government Does

All your government does by De Heideroosjes

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
