Move Over Humanity
|
You pull up to the corner to let out your girl, When something happens like the end of the world. As you lean over to give her a kiss An eerie blast of a horn scares you out'a your wits. The fluorescent green monster you see in your mirror Has big amber eyes and really looks weird. You jump out of your car to see what goes, It's a big ugly truck with some compan's cargo. Move over humanity Here comes industry. Gonna drive you back down, Down into the ground. The security guard comes to your hotel room One the night of Christmas eve. Wants to count the people in the room, Says, "It's standard hotel policy." After a while you start to get mad. They say,"Hey, it's for your safety." Move over humanity Here comes industry. Gonna drive you back down, Down into the ground. Our forefathers envisioned Industry as a powerful horse, Of which we'd be able to harness its force And ride in the saddle high and free. The one in the saddle is Industry, Running amuk, reckless and carefree. We build the kind of Industry that causes pollution, Because it offers the best economic solution. We let Industry deprive us of health And turn our landscape int filth. Now we build the industry that threatens all life. That feeds off other people's war and strife. Move over humanity Here comes industry. Gonna drive you back down, Down into the ground. The Company Lawyer Married the Company Doctor, They had a child who became the Company Liar. The Corporate Scientist Married the Corporate Priest, They had a child who became the Corporate Beast. Airwaves America Owes an Apology Promise I Will, Promise I Won't Halitosis |
