Just the general state of affairs in our society today
Lyrics
I've got all these opinions
They get wasted every day
I try to tell the people
But I just get in their way
I've seen a foul invasion
Of a corporate frame of mind
It runs on greed and selfishness
And steals my precious time
I wake up every morning
And I iron away my will
I seek some transportation
And I head off for the mill
I sit upon my chair
And blindly blink and stare
And help produce the riches for the few
And they get high
As we get low
And we see that we've got 5 long days to go
And we wish that we could find
Some simple peace of mind
And we dream about our 2 weeks every year
I've got all these opinions
They get wasted every day
I try to tell the people
But I just get in their way
I've seen the way the media
It herds us like a flock
And takes us for a ride around the block
They own the very airwaves
Which they use to sell their views
They tell us what to think
They tell us it's the news
We can't resist their charm
It does nobody harm
It helps produce the riches for the few
And they get high
As we get low
And we see that we've got 4 more days to go
And we wish that we could find
Some simple peace of mind
And we dream about our 2 weeks every year
I've got all these opinions
They get wasted every day
I try to tell the people
But I just get in their way
Society is based on pure indulgence unashamed
You want to have it all
You sell your precious name
There's so much you should own
You'll need to take a loan
And donate all your money to their cause
And they'll get high
As you get low
And you'll see that you've got 3 more days to go
And you'll wish that you could find
Some simple peace of mind
And you'll dream about your 2 weeks every year
I've got all these opinions
They get wasted every day
I try to tell the people
But I just get in their way
The people lack the knowledge to support democracy
There's so much they don't hear
There's so much they don't see
They feed us candy coated dreams
Or terror tales of what it seems
Is death upon our doorstep everyday
The corporations own the information they don't share
Unless to cloud our eyes
Unless to keep us scared
Unless to tell us all the news
Of all the things that we could use
To help produce the riches for the few
And they get high
As we get low
And we see that we've got 2 more days to go
And we wish that we could find
Some simple peace of mind
And we dream about our 2 weeks every year
I've got all these opinions
They get wasted every day
I try to tell the people
But I just get in their way
I've seen a foul invasion
Of a corporate frame of mind
It runs on greed and selfishness
And steals my precious time
I find it clear to see the inner workings of their game
We have a right to everything
The world is ours to gain
The resources are endless
And simply ours to take
This bubble we keep blowing
Ain't never gonna break
And they'll get high
As we get low
And we'll see that we've got 1 more day or so
And we'll wish that we could find
Some simple peace of mind
And we'll dream about our 2 weeks every year
