where do you go where do you go for external forces |
|
your body wakes but never waits to restore resources |
|
do you believe in what you do or is it just for money |
|
so if the world all does the same no wonder things are funny |
|
just when you thought that you were building on a rock |
|
you find you've dug yourself a hole |
|
and you'll be facing such a futuristic shock |
|
when ground control slips away from you |
|
ground control slips away |
|
how can you face the future |
|
do you create and generate to build a land of plenty |
|
or do you misappropriate until the world is empty |
|
do you despise and criticise with no absolution |
|
or do you stop to analyse to find a new solution |
|
just when you thought that you were building on a rock |
|
you find you've dug yourself a hole |
|
and you'll be facing such a futuristic shock |
|
when ground control slips away from you |
|
ground control slips away |
|
they're cutting up the world we know |
|
for reasons they're ashamed to show |
|
and all we love will have to go |
|
they're storming us without a war |
|
extending force until we fall |
|
while we lie back and take it all |
|
and everything our fathers made |
|
and everything they fought to save |
|
is trampled under this parade |
|
and nothing's going to stop them now |
|
their policy will know no bounds |
|
as soon as they control the ground |
|
under the flag of liberty you'll find corruption lurking |
|
it's our responsibility to keep the system working |
|
just when you thought that you were building on a rock |
|
you find you've dug yourself a hole |
|
and you'll be facing such a futuristic shock |
|
when ground control slips away from you |
|
ground control slips away |
