Welcome to the Occupation - Live in Chicago / 1995 by R.E.M. Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2019

[Verse 1]
Hang your collar up inside
Hang your dollar on me
Listen to the fire still
Listen to the cause where you are

[Chorus]
Offering the educated
Primitive and wild
Welcome to the occupation

[Verse 2]
Here we stand and here we fight
All your fallen heroes
Held and tied and held upright
Listen to the Congress [?]

[Chorus]
Offering the educated
Primitive and loyal
Welcome to the occupation
[Verse 3]
Hang your collar up inside
Hang your freedom higher
Listen to the buyer still
Listen to the Congress [?]

[Chorus]
[?] and production
Primitive and wild
Fire on the hemisphere below

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 4]
Sugar cane and coffee cup
Copper, steel, and cattle
An annotated history
The forest for the fire [?]

[Chorus]
Where we open up the floodgates
Freedom reigns supreme
Fire on the hemisphere below

[Outro]
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
Thank you
