Terms Of Living

The bourgeois conception of democracy

Is limited to the political life

Party politics, parliamentary or not

The representatives will act beyond their voter's thoughts

And the deciding opposition under capitalism

Is between the class who owns, and those who create

But the government embraces the business élite

They've made a sworn pact concerning you and me

I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND

WHY OUR TERMS OF LIVING

IS DICTATED BY THEIR HANDS

I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND

WHY OUR HOPES AND DREAMS

MUST ALWAYS GO DOWN THE DRAIN

We've gotta render the work its right value

As a source to human dignity

The goods and the methods of production

Must be adapted to human needs and circulation of nature

I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND…
