well they finally went and did it
they built there brave new world
where the business folk make merry with the prosstitutes and girls
with consumer driven greed as insatiable as need
for empty conversations where nothing is to gain
but the need for endless purchasing to take away the pain
forgetting how to make with there hands or with there minds
anything worth having in the spirit of mankind
they crossed the rubicon and left intelligence behind
to gain financial services and the search for endless wealth
where corporate driven policies make advertising speak
lies to get you buying what is shiny new or cheap
that you find you just dont need
so you throw it all away
then to keep the profits rising they advertise some more
till one day someone asks
is this what we came here for
