Welcome stranger listen in The presumption of innocence was buried again Sell-off Welcome, to the selloff Triumphalism gotta be a curse or even worse It's inherited, it's recurring, oh God Sell-off Welcome, to free trade I have walked, I have swum I've hitchhiked and I've run Do you know what I mean? I have sat with my beer In the EH drive-in Do you know what I've seen? Like the little bits of bacon(?) lying in the laboratory The triumphalist and narcissist are joined ear and hip and phone They're worshipping their chrome Carve up Welcome, to sharp edges Some speak with chainsaw tongue Some just golden arches smile Some relish others suffering Some just run and hide Carve up I have dreamed, I have schemed, I have made myself clean Do you know what I mean? I have sat, I have strayed, got caught up and I prayed Do you know what I've seen? Do you know, do you know, do you know, do you know... The story's just the same but the ending it can change Sell-off He wants to build a monument, it's everlasting in cement It's cellular recombinant, he is not lite, he will not die Gonna pick up all the pieces they're available from species With all the goat and all the sheep and all the Human bits and pieces but he'll make you Sign the DNA releases Sell-off Welcome In the year of the reign of the real citizen kane, Wilkommen, the squeeze is on, it's a falling down on thou and I |
