The global chain industry must capitalize
It must control everything around it, lest it stifle potential profit
The global chain industry must accumulate,
Capital, nature, labor, lives
The global chain industry must expand or die
Resources might be confined to a planet that is finite,
But the chain industry demands infinite growth, infinite gains
To not heed its commands would prove a most dire mistake—the world might lose its chains
Empire has a heartbeat
You can hear it if you just stay quiet and listen
Empire has a heartbeat
You can hear it if you just work hard and stay obedient
Fret not, the global chain industry is a conscientious one
Imperial heartbeats
Omnipresent, always beating
Omnivorous, always eating
Imperial heartbeats are the sounds of its subjects trying to breath, trying to live
Palpitations of stifled life
Stifled life or stifled profit?
Choose one
Palpitations of stifled profit
Imperial heartbeats beat the life out of you
Listen
Can you hear?
That’s the sound of freedom, freedom upon the horizon
Can you feel it?
Pain is weakness leaving the body—the body, that same vessel empire beats like a drum,
In a desperate attempt to show some sign of life, any at all
Repeat after me
The global chain industry is a kind, benevolent empire
It seeks only to help its subjects, those ungrateful barbarians
Out of the kindness of its heart
Out of the kindness of its beating heart
Out of the kindness of its heart
Out of the kindness of its bloody, beating heart
It brings Commerce, almighty Commerce, to “backward” peoples
It teaches Skills, almighty Skills, to “backward” peoples
It creates Jobs, almighty Jobs, for “backward” peoples
Don’t go to sleep, don’t you dream
Don’t even close your old, worn eyes
‘Cus we are watching, monitoring overhead,
Counting overhead, protecting “freedom”
Sleep is for the weak
You are a worker, not a sleeper
You toil, not dream
Pain is for the weak, you are a worker
You are the blood flowing through our commercial veins
Your cries of anguish are our imperial heartbeat
