225
New Model Army She stares at the screen At the little words of green Tries to remember what to do next There's a trace of frustration Searching for the key she should press That across her face And I would help her But these things are a mystery to me too If I only know how Eyes they are watching And it seems that the corporate She fears for her job And the moments are passing And think to myself I stare at her nametag Both you and I, we never asked For any of this So let's take a walk Up past the chemical works And we'll talk about Where the sky turns green at night Getting away from here Some difference kind of life But even in the freshest mountain air The jet fighters practise overhead And they're drilling these hills And they'll bury the waste For uranium deposits For our children to inherit And though this is all done For our town benefit, I swear We never asked for any of this Means everyone talks at the same time This golden age of communication And liberty just means Any weakness that you can find Some freedom to exploit Well turn off the TV just for a while Let us whisper to eachother instead Do not listen And we'll hope that the Corporate ears Lest we find ourselves committing Some kind of treason And filed in the tapes While they tell us that it's all Without rhyme, without reason For our own protection, I swear We never asked for any of this ======================================================================= |
