歌曲 | Freeze Up |
歌手 | Operation Ivy |
专辑 | Operation Ivy |
作词 : Operation Ivy | |
Empty factories to the east and all our waste, | |
The shape of things that came shows on the broken worker's face. | |
To the west you'll find our silicon promised land where machinesrelace our minds for systematic profit plans. | |
The course of human progress staggers like a drunk- | |
Its steps are quick and heavy and its mind is slow and blunt. | |
I look for optimism but | |
I just don't know. | |
Its seeds are planned in a poison place where nothing grows. | |
It's 1989 stand up and take a look around | |
Weather's bitter tension it seems is sinking down. | |
Drunk with power and fighting one another every hour | |
Shows the winter getting harder. | |
There's a freeze up coming. | |
One nation stands the tallest radiating blinding light, | |
Plastic and flourescent energy robbing us of sight- | |
Set in our way, content with our decay, | |
We wave the flag of freedom as we conquer and invade- | |
Ever ask yourself where's my place in this hell? | |
But no one's there to tell you 'cause they don't know themselves | |
The well rehearsed lines from our elated politicians | |
No longer offer solace, we can see the self destruction(Chorus) | |
Just one political song to drop into the list this is years and years long! |

Empty factories to the east and all our waste, | |
The shape of things that came shows on the broken worker' s face. | |
To the west you' ll find our silicon promised land where machinesrelace our minds for systematic profit plans. | |
The course of human progress staggers like a drunk | |
Its steps are quick and heavy and its mind is slow and blunt. | |
I look for optimism but | |
I just don' t know. | |
Its seeds are planned in a poison place where nothing grows. | |
It' s 1989 stand up and take a look around | |
Weather' s bitter tension it seems is sinking down. | |
Drunk with power and fighting one another every hour | |
Shows the winter getting harder. | |
There' s a freeze up coming. | |
One nation stands the tallest radiating blinding light, | |
Plastic and flourescent energy robbing us of sight | |
Set in our way, content with our decay, | |
We wave the flag of freedom as we conquer and invade | |
Ever ask yourself where' s my place in this hell? | |
