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
