lyrics

When life nearly died, denial was heightened
By the short-term minds, to keep their high and mighty
Until the gravity of our future situation arose
And the high fell back to earth
And as they watch the time run out, they punch the clock and it breaks
When salvation is financialy unviable, we've made a mistake
Progress seems a contradiction, still we try to push this fiction
Sold on a dream, but the payment is a nightmare
And you know it, so now you can show it
Shoot the breeze, you won't blow it

(chorus)
You don't have to be so guarded i won't judge you
We can forget the social role play if that's alright too
I know you're pretty far from normal and you can see through
They set our world on fire for pleasure
Destroyed through brand new

Organised to fail, hypocracy is all that's on sale
And when the freedom ship has sailed
Dictatorship will prevail, all be it soft controll
Still puts us deep in the hole
And now we're eating ourselves out of existance
With American persistance
Our mouths are busy munching
The numbers are busy crunching
Before it goes up in smoke
We need to get thought provoked

(chorus)

If you're gonna tear it down
You best tear it down good
'Cause they'll build it up and charge you double
If you're gonna tear it down
You best tear it down good
Don't want to pick your arse out of the rubble
If your gonna hang around express yourself
'Cause represion will cause you trouble

(chorus)
