Lyrics
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up to the oligarchy
That keeps the people subdued by the label of democracy
It's all hypocrisy
I said It's all hypocrisy
The people don't rule this country
Money is what's really running things
But there is hope
We find ourselves in an ideal moment in history
An ideal moment to stand up and get them off our back
See the king no longer has legitimacy
So the oppressive chains he still holds on society
Are in plain sight for all of us to see
Revolution is in sight
The democratic confederacy of the north in Syria
Is a small key
That will open a big door
In terms of free life
Birthed in this cradle of civilization
but now cemetery of imperial decimation
This Kurdish revolution in Rojava Syria is the biggest hope
In this quest in the question of freedom and democracy
Since the beginning of classed civilization in Sumer society
Listen up
Democratic confederalism is a new form of social organization
One that isn't based on top-down hierarchical relations
Revolutionizing the economics
With a horizontal system
Removing the classical pyramid division
Ending class domination with a bottom-up vision
Democratic political administrations
Through direct democracy in each community
Similar to what Vermont town meetings could be
A flexible multicultural anti-monopolistic consensus-oriented system
A non-state democracy
Because the nation-state is just a modern substitution for monarchy
Central pillars of feminism and ecology
In democratic confederalism
Society governs itself
Every societal group and cultural identity express themselves freely
Clusters of elected councils that are multi-structured
Striving for unity in the diversity
The democratic confederalist model
Liberates diversifies and democratizes society
The democratic confederacy of the north in Syria
Is a small key
That will open a big door
In terms of free life
Yeah the Kurdish question of freedom is an international question
So the next step forward is global
Each individual community or neighborhood connecting globally
As a world democratic confederal unity
Long-term solutions to hegemonic institutions
Decentralizing power structures
Changing classed civilization to a democratic civilization
A new global society driven by knowledge and love
Democratic confederation will move the world forwardly
Toward peace ecological sustainability
With justice and productivity
Un movimiento anti nacionalista para la revolución global
