Lyrics: -
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
