We Built This Machine Songtext
von Mothloop

We added value did our time
We waked in line walked in file
We moved forever mile on mile
We did our service did our time
Gave it all up and stayed in line
Our work was endless all the time
We used our voices shared our memes
Shared our anger streamed our dreams

There are so many of us

We are the system we are the pain
We are the product the eversame
We are the zeitgeist we are the change
We saved the planet it stayed the same
Streamed our victory on mobile phones
Mass consumption a demonstration
We changed nothing, walked in line
Freaked our nation we worked in time

There are so many of us


Politicians and teachers
All you nurses and you preachers
And the builders and engineers
Policemen and marketeers
Editors and journalists
Professors and psychiatrists
All you students and shop workers
The pickers and the packers
And the stars and celebrities
The cleaners and the managers
The futurologists, sociologists
The CEOs and NGOs
The unwaged and the underwaged
We all think were freedom fighters
But we′re like
Ants and worker bees
Ants and worker bees
Ants and worker bees

There are so many of us

We Built this machine, we build this machine

There are so many of us
