All Systems Down Lyrics

I sit in silence for some time and think about the
worldAnd it seems to be a marketplace where we can buy
and sell
The lives no less than infants held in a corporate hand
They're given what they 'cannot have'
Supply becomes demand
And everywhere I look I see the multinational
There's something shining in their eyes
Violating the earth and using up its resource
Just to build a new franchise
Erosion complete the cycle never to repeat
Now will they realise
Fast food may be an eating revolution
But it's rape has spawned our world demise.
You think they're going to tell you exactly what
they're doing?
The mask they wear's a good disguise
When charity's a fashion you really got to wonder

Are they struggling to sell fries? Overworked and underpaid indignity is commonplace
So now we sympathise
But in our selfish habits and wasteful mass consumption
We become the one's we criticise.
It's lies we're telling to ourselves the lies they
energise
The raised fist of hypocrisy is seen in all our lives
Megacorporation's produce our daily lives
And I want to boycott all of this and break the chain
of lies
But is corporate remonstration to answer to oppression?
I want to know the reason why
The weight of the world is on our generation
When we're living off their borrowed time
Anarchy becomes an immediate reaction
And indifference follows close behind
But neither possess a bonafide solution
To the pain that seethes inside.
