225 |
| Tries to remember what to do next |
| There’s a trace of frustration that crosses her face |
| Searching through the keys she should press |
| But I would help her if I only know how |
| But these things are a mystery to me too |
| And it seems to the corporate eyes they are watching |
| She fears for her job and the moments they are passing |
| I stare at her name tag and I think to myself |
| Both you and I, we never asked for any of this |
| Let’s take a walk up past the chemical works |
| Where the sky turns green at night |
| We’ll talk about not getting away from here |
| Some different kind of life |
| But even in the freshest mountain air |
| Oh, the jet fighters practice overhead |
| And they’re drilling these hills for uranium deposits |
| And they’ll bury the waste for our children to inherit |
| Though this is all done for our own benefit |
| I swear we never asked for any of this |
| Well, this golden age of communication |
| Means everyone just talks at the same time |
| And liberty just means the freedom to exploit |
| Any weakness that you can find |
| Turn off the TV just for a while |
| Let us whisper to each other instead |
| And we’ll hope that the corporate ears do not listen |
| Lest we find ourselves committing some kind of treason |
| And filed in the tapes without rhyme, without reason |
| While they tell us that it’s all for our own protection |
| I swear we never asked for any of this |
| Oh, I swear we never asked, not for any of this |
| Oh, I swear we never asked for any of this |
| Oh, I swear we never asked for any of this |
| Oh, I swear |
