New Empire Blues

Help me cause I can’t understand is this the progress that was planned?
Help me cause I just can’t see what is new with this economy
Labor camps, death zones seems like we’ve seen it before
Free trade restructuring plans like money could give a damn

Hold tight - hold tight
I got a feeling that something’s not right tonight
Hold tight - hold tight
I want to feel alive

Help me cause I can’t comprehend feudal serfs with outstretched hands
Help me cause I can’t figure out what this freedom is all about
Free to slave free to pay, Nike shops will make our day
More ball and chain will lead the way to this globalization wave

Hold tight - hold tight
I got a feeling that something’s not right tonight
Hold tight - hold tight
I want to feel alive

Help me cause I can’t understand is this the progress that was planned?
Help me cause I just can’t see what is new with this economy
Labor camps, death zones seems like we’ve seen it before
Free trade restructuring plans like money could give a damn

Hey I don’t get it
