Lyrics
We’re building a culture of resistance against capitalist economic institutions, Against a system which perpetrates greed and complement economics which is the seed. Of fair trade and not free trade we are insistent. We’re building a culture of resistance.
We’re building our own institutions, newspapers, T.V., and radio stations, We shop at cooperative stores, we buy organic cotton drawers, We’re full of hope that was once disillusion. We’re building our own institutions.
We’re building, not waiting for heaven, where there’s organic food stores not 7-11’s. We work 20 hours a week, there’s bikes not cars on the street, everyone has enough to eat, that’s a given. We’re building not waiting for heaven.
We’re building a culture of protest, organized actions of civil unrest. We’re locking down the doors we’re flying banners from your stores, we are willing to risk arrest. We’re building a culture of protest.
We’re building a culture of celebration, for we’re alive with imagination. When a brother’s business is sinking we find our own stories more interesting. Hollywood movies is cultural degradation. We’re building a culture of celebration.
We’re building a culture of consciousness. From drinking coffee to Friday night beer boss. We’d rather not have any than to drink from a paper cup, you say it can be recycled we say that’s not good enough. Please excuse any perceived self righteousness, we’re simply trying to build a culture of consciousness.
And we’re building a culture of resistance of gas masks and ski masks to save the earth buttons. From Earth first in California doin’ the tree sits. The places I’ll never go and the people I’ll never visit. From Philadelphia to Bellingham, Washington. We’re building a culture of resistance
