A million workers, bricks in a wall, cogs in a machine But walls can fall and machines can rust if you fail to keep them clean Selected mating, tainted childhood favours malleable youth Go It takes a shoreline to harbour a fleet If you don't like the flowers you can crush them under your feet But there's someone driving from the back seat A new tomorrow An old today You shouldn't buy what you can borrow Don't walk on the water, if the water's not frozen
Don't die before birth if you want to get chosen When harvester is hungry you don't give it barren earth No It takes a life to die, chemicals to sleep If you like you can help the butchers counting sheep But there's someone laughing in the back seat The price of tomorrow Is set today I will not buy what i can borrow
