Say yes to a real life ambition
Say yes to our hopes and our plans
Forget about your indecision
Let's get the beast off our landA tree that can grow no longer
A beach that has got no sand
I would pay out a king's ransom
If we could just understandGot your last meal, filled up with pesticide
Hamburger, chain third world infanticide
Got robot, car, your jobs will disappear
It's the politics of a brand new yearManhattanization is coming
Open your eyes if you dare
Carry us on to the crossroads
Come to your senses and care16 million, I can't hear you at allSome say that's progress, I say that's cruelYou may be safe in your hemisphere
But there's so much junk in the stratosphere
We got our eyes on the firmament, hands on the armaments
Heads full of arguments and words for our monumentsI won't deny it, can we survive?Some say that's progress, I say that's cruel
