The Restless Consumer
From
album(s):

 
   
(Written: 2006)

Notes:

The people have heard the news
The people have spoken
You may not like what they said
But they weren't jokin'

Way oiut on the desert sands
Lies a desperate lover
They call her the "Queen of Oil"
So much to discover

Don't need no ad machine
Telling me what I need
Don't need no Madison Avenue War
Don't need no more boxes I can't see
Covered in flags but I can't see them on TV
Don't need no lies
Don't need no lies
Don't need no lies
Don't need no lies

The restless consumer flies
Around the world each day
With such an appetite for taste and grace

People from around the world
Need someone to listen
We're starving and dying from our disease
We need your medicine

How do you pay for war
And leave us dyin'?
When you could do so much more
You're not even tryin'

Don't need no TV ad
Tellin' me how sick I am
Don't want to leave
Don't want to know how people are like me
Don't need no dizziness
Don't need no nauses
Don't need no side effects like diarrhea or sexual death
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies

The restless consumer lies
Asleep in her hotel
With such an appetite
For anything that sells

A hundred voices from a hundred lands
Need someone to listen
People are starving here and there
They don't see the world the way you do
There's no missing accomplished here
Just death to thousans
A hundred voices from a hundred lands
Cry out unison

Don't need no terror squad
Don't want no damned Jihad
Blowin' themselves away in my hood
But we don't talk to them
And we don't learn from them
Hate don't negotiate with Good
Don't need it
Don't need more lies
Don't need more lies
Don't need more lies
Don't need more lies

The restless consumer flies
Around the world each day
With such an appetite for efficiency
And pace

Don't need no more lies
