about

Written after a young anarchist climbed the activist-proof fence surrounding the convention center in Quebec City in 2000, rocked it back and forth, and it fell down. That to me was the defining image of the 21st century.

lyrics

We are born in nature and in nature we will die
And if we don’t make it, it’s not because we didn’t try

They say they will incorporate the world
Over my dead body, over my dead body, over my dead body, over mine

They have all the money but we have the will
And I would rather be a match than a paper dollar bill

They have all the guns, all we are is flesh and blood
But we will multiply our numbers and drown them in our flood

They say they will incorporate the world
Over my dead body, over my dead body, over my dead body, over mine

They have all the power, that’s what they say
But we will turn those tables, take their power away

We will not be dissuaded and we will not turn around
We will face the barricades and we will tear them down

They say they will incorporate the world
Over my dead body, over my dead body, over my dead body, over mine

You can call me a fool, that’s alright with me
But I will live to see this good round world breaking free
