Heideroosjes All Your Government Does
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
