Welcome To The Corporation

lyrics

Welcome To The Corporation

There's a silent killer our money has fed
with its very own police force rising in the west
with the guns and the power to shield the government nation
welcome, welcome to the corporation

from the east comes the people, hungry and gambling
they've only known war, their hearts and trembling
they have nothing to lose when they build bombs in frustration
welcome, welcome to the corporation

to the south to the south the communist scene
turning their backs on the global machine
their politics the folly of the leaders of the nations
welcome, welcome to the corporation

to the north drift the natives in their dreams of booze and haze
American spirits visions certain to amaze
they have babies to build numbers, a revolution of creation
welcome, welcome to the corporation

The CEO's play God, science becomes power
never looking with any foresight at the invention of the hour
a blue eyed, blonde haired genius world with microchip relations
welcome, welcome to the corporation

Oppenheimer, Einstein - were they the saints?
Who made the advances that we all fear today?
The nature of the grave is soon to be changing
welcome, welcome to the corporation

The consumers pay the rents for the residences of greed
our dollar turns the wheels of shops selling something new to need
the local organic foodstore has a fundraiser against district regulations
welcome, welcome to the corporation.

A jigsaw puzzle called mother earth scattered to the ground
and our hands are tied to treadmills until vacation comes around
and by then we'll just sit and drink and praise our blissful stations
welcome, welcome to the corporation.
