| Follow your neighbors lead. |
| everything a man could need
|
| With a card in the palm of your hand
|
| Come get your hands on it mother (my mother)
|
| Everything must go (no no no)
|
| Fur coats, and diamond rings, and giant plasma TV screens
|
| You owe it to yourself, don’t you know
|
| So put your faith in the plastic my friend, your dreams are a swipe away
|
| Don’t you worry where the bounty comes from, if you do it might haunt you some
|
| day
|
| When the sun comes up and is burning in the sky
|
| Rest assured that it’s dark on the other side
|
| The stores are boarding up their windows
|
| As the shopping malls cave in
|
| Everything in chaos now, someone screaming:
|
| «Tell me how we can spend our money, my friend»
|
| I tell 'em go build a castle, lock it up real tight
|
| With nothing left to consume can’t you see we’re clearly doomed
|
| And the world might just end here tonight
|
| Recession, depression call it what you will, we’re the victims of our own greed
|
| With cheaters for leaders our own empty dreams will come back as nightmares and
|
| dreams
|
| But there’s a clearing in the fog that might just be hope up ahead
|
| If we hurry there’s a chance
|
| We could make it through to the end
|
| So tell me my friends, was it worth what you spent?
|
| The sun comes up and it’s burning in the sky
|
| Rest assured that it’s dark on the other side (side, side) |
