lyrics

We claim the internet as a sovereign nation
We are not run by Google
Google is a corporation

We built the internet from the inside of our brains
And made it manifest
And we will do it again if you tear us down

We have a protocol
And we live by our codes
And if you censor us we will reroute them

We take what exists
And then we fork it and remix it
And if people say that’s wrong, then we will doubt them

We operate as a unified whole
With one belief
Which is that everybody’s voice should have a chance to be heard
And everybody’s words should have a chance to be read
And everyone’s experience becomes a part of the whole human story
The human melody
The symphony of consciousness

[Modem chorus]

We claim the internet as a sovereign nation
We are not run by Facebook
Facebook is a degradation

We built the internet from the whole of human thought
And made it manifest
And made it manifest

And created a space that has no borders and no land
And yet it is where we live our lives
And so we claim this nation as our own
