Great Imperialist State - Simone White[00:00:00]

There's a farmer in a distant country working on the land[00:00:10]

A hat upon his head and a shovel in his hand[00:00:15]

Till the soil plant the seed wait a while cut the leaf[00:00:19]

And send another cup of tea to me[00:00:25]

I'm a spoiled child of the great imperialist state[00:00:33]

I cannot kill my meat nor grow the food upon my plate[00:00:38]

I never walked a mile to the well when the tap runs dry do tell[00:00:43]

What will become of you and me[00:00:49]

What will become of us who will give us trust[00:00:54]

Will you believe me when I say I never loved profiting from your pain[00:00:58]

That I felt shame when I looked the other way[00:01:06]

Woke up this morning the revolution knocking down my door[00:01:12]

Those capitalist pigs No they don't live here anymore[00:01:17]

Slipped out the back door into my car how far can you drive how far[00:01:21]

There's a farmer in a distant country working on the land[00:01:28]

Food turned into flowers for the uptown florist stand[00:01:33]

What you saved another paid to turn his soil into sand[00:01:38]

The world will not deliver on demand[00:01:42]

What will become of us who will give us trust[00:01:49]

Will you believe me when I say I never loved profiting from your pain[00:01:54]

That I felt shame when I looked the other way[00:02:01]
