...suddenly...
Have you come very far?
Do you know where you are?
Guess it looks pretty good...
We've made sure that it would.
Do you think that it's safe just because you've behaved?
Here's a word to the wise;
'Developed's not the same as 'civilized'.
Oh, no!
(chorus)
In this slow motorcade
I'm more angry than afraid.
All relief out of reach,
Wait, I recognize this beach.
Just was taking the piss,
but now it is all of this.
Fuck, I know where I am.
Suddenly, it's Vietnam.
Over here, if you please,
right behind these pleasant trees.
Just come on down below....
You can tell us all you know.
Did you really believe we would just let you leave?
Slip your hands through these rings
but not to worry, it's just questioning.
Oh, no!
(chorus)
Who watches those
that watch over the ant heap down below?
Who keeps the gate between royalty and drones?
Who chooses
what power to place in those hands, and
what do they do with it when they're on their own?
Freedom's only for real
if we take back what they steal,
not just in the light of day,
but out here where things get grey.
'Cause I know what's going on
between the gleam of all mod cons
only so much you can avoid
by labeling me another paranoid,
Oh no!
(chorus)
