about

Human nature isn't inherently predatory. Capitalism exacerbates our worst tendencies. It's time we fight back to leave the world kinder than we found it.

lyrics

God damn, I never said they owed me anything
Must be too much to expect integrity
Where I'm from, we call it basic human decency
But I guess they never learned

Pillage and plunder left the world to run on greed
They got me buying shit that I know I don't need
Whatever happened to the bare necessities?
They told me the best things in life are free

So many homeless people sleeping on the street
When you pass them, do your eyes even meet?
Poverty, racism, isn't it strange?
They say that’s just the way it is

Pillage and plunder left the world to run on greed.
They got you buying shit that I just can’t believe
Whatever happened to the bare necessities?
They told me the best things in life are free

Soon, I hope you make the choice to be kind.
Your time is running out with no chance to rewind
There’s only one cure for your anxious mind and
We call it solidarity.

Pillage and plunder left the world to run on greed
They got you buying shit that I just can’t believe
Whatever happened to the bare necessities?
They told me the best things in life are free
