Lyrics[]
What’s it gonna take To slow us down To let the silence spin us around? What’s it gonna take To drop this town? We’ve been spinning at the speed of sound Stepping out of those convenience stores What could we want but more more more From the third world To the corporate core We are the symphony of modern humanity If we’re adding to the noise Turn of this song If we’re adding to the noise Turn off your stereo, radio, video… I don’t know What they’re gonna think of next Genetic engineers of the most high tech A couple new ways To fall into debt I’m a nervous wreck but I’ll bet that that TV set Tells us what we’ve wanted to hear But none of these sound bites are coming in clear From the third world to the corporate ear We are the symphony of modern humanity
