We Built This Machine Lyrics

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
