New Model Army - 225 Lyrics
She stares at the screenAt the little words of greenTries to remember what to do nextThere's a trace of frustrationThat across her faceSearching for the key she should pressAnd I would help herIf I only know howBut these things are a mystery to me tooAnd it seems that the corporateEyes they are watchingShe fears for her jobAnd the moments are passingI stare at her nametagAnd think to myselfBoth you and I, we never askedFor any of thisSo let's take a walkUp past the chemical worksWhere the sky turns green at nightAnd we'll talk aboutGetting away from hereSome difference kind of lifeBut even in the freshest mountain airThe jet fighters practise overheadAnd they're drilling these hillsFor uranium depositsAnd they'll bury the wasteFor our children to inheritAnd though this is all doneFor our town benefit, I swearWe never asked for any of thisThis golden age of communicationMeans everyone talks at the same timeAnd liberty just meansSome freedom to exploitAny weakness that you can findWell turn off the TV just for a whileLet us whisper to eachother insteadAnd we'll hope that the Corporate earsDo not listenLest we find ourselves committingSome kind of treasonAnd filed in the tapesWithout rhyme, without reasonWhile they tell us that it's allFor our own protection, I swearWe never asked for any of this=======================================================================
