I Am Become The South Lyrics

Oh my god I think I'm Cuba or possibly Tanzania.
The realization hits me bluntly
Oh my god they've colonized me.
Castro: be virgin sound.
Nyerere: a screenless life.
Oh my god, they are extracting all my precious raw materials.
Suharto, Batista: I am become the south.
Ao now the old dialectic has been resurrected in my subconscience
Between traditional and neo-colonialism in impressive synthesis.
So the forced participation in the sewer of commerce
is unrepresented taxation and the insidious beckoning
of product and promise is a goddman IMF loan.
Henry Ford plays Cortes in the last of the great twentieth-century authoritarianisms.
Stalinism and fascism make way for the great dictatorship of the corporation.
oOh my god we've been convinced that the stranglehold of corporations
can somehow safely coexist with our notions of participation.
The unions: the Elgin Marbes.
The billboards: Victoria embankment.
Emilio Zapata was not the hand that changed the channel
but the hand that switched off the whole goddamn TV.
