What's the Difference?

Go, the constitution crumbles beneath the weight of fascists
No right to assemble, no free speech for the masses
Seattle '99 at the mayors decree
Anti-W.T.O. statements are grounds for arrestingOur leaders decry Tianamen
And speak of freedom
As they unleash our cops on us
So what's the fuckin' difference?Behind locked doors in session
Corporate sponsored politicians
Structure policy to build more corporate strength
Fight strength with strengthAt news conferences they claim we listen
While they lock out their own constituents
So we march on to raise our voice
Because we are left with no choiceIn China, Nike pays workers fifty cents a day
In the U.S., lawmakers give China free trade
Human rights based sanctions just washed away
When our lawmakers are owned by multinationals moneyOur leaders decry Tianamen
And speak of freedom
As they unleash our cops on us
So what's the fuckin' difference?
