Welcome To The Occupation - R.E.M.

Hang your collar up inside

Hang your dollar on me

Listen to the water still

Listen to the cause where you are

Fed and educated

Primitive and wild

Welcome to the occupation

Here we stand and here we fight

All your fallen heroes

Held and dyed and skinned alive

Listen to the Congress fire

Offering the educated

Primitive and loyal

Welcome to the occupation

Hang your collar up inside

Hang your freedom higher

Listen to the buyer still

Listen to the Congress

Where we propagate confusion

Primitive and wild

Fire on the hemisphere below

Sugar cane and coffee cup

Copper, steel and cattle

An annotated history

The forest for the fire

Where we open up the floodgates

Freedom reigns supreme

Fire on the hemisphere below

Listen to me

Listen to me

Listen to me

Listen to me

Listen to me

Listen to me

Listen to me
