Welcome To The Occupation - Live From Utrecht, Holland / 1987 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hang your collar up inside
Hang your dollar on me
Listen to the water still
Listen to the cause where you are
[Chorus 1]
Fed and educated
Primitive and wild
Welcome to the occupation
[Verse 2]
Here we stand and here we fight
All your fallen heroes
Held and dyed and skinned alive
Listen to the Congress fire
[Chorus 2]
Offering the educated
Primitive and loyal
Welcome to thе occupation
[Verse 3]
Hang your collar up inside
Hang your freedom higher
Listen to thе Congress still
Listen to the buyer
Hang your collar up inside
Hang your dollar on me
Listen to the water still
Listen to the cause where you are
[Chorus 1]
Fed and educated
Primitive and wild
Welcome to the occupation
[Verse 2]
Here we stand and here we fight
All your fallen heroes
Held and dyed and skinned alive
Listen to the Congress fire
[Chorus 2]
Offering the educated
Primitive and loyal
Welcome to thе occupation
[Verse 3]
Hang your collar up inside
Hang your freedom higher
Listen to thе Congress still
Listen to the buyer
[Chorus 3]
Where we propagate confusion
Primitive and wild
Fire on the hemisphere below
[Instrumental bridge]
[Verse 4]
Sugar cane and coffee cup
Copper, steel, and cattle
An annotated history
The forest for the fire
[Chorus 4]
Where we open up the floodgates
Freedom reigns supreme
Fire on the hemisphere below
[Outro]
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me!
Listen to me!
Listen to me!
Listen to me!
Listen to me!
Where we propagate confusion
Primitive and wild
Fire on the hemisphere below
[Instrumental bridge]
[Verse 4]
Sugar cane and coffee cup
Copper, steel, and cattle
An annotated history
The forest for the fire
[Chorus 4]
Where we open up the floodgates
Freedom reigns supreme
Fire on the hemisphere below
[Outro]
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me!
Listen to me!
Listen to me!
Listen to me!
Listen to me!
[Outro, spoken]
