Come with me my little innocents, there's a game that we can play See how much we can change your world while you look the other way Turn around as if to see if you can catch us cheat And all you'll find are shining presents laid down at your feet Take the bait, take the bait Television is flash and Coke is nice and you can have the rest Dream those dreams you've always had of wealth and power and s** We'll run your mines, your factories and we'll take our little toll And you can have these missiles too while we maintain control Chorus: Creeping, creeping footsteps around the world While they promise us everything we've ever wanted Hush now, don't you cry, don't you realise your crime? Like lambs go to the slaughterhouse, we know our rights from wrongs But we go down to the shopping mall with 30 silver coins And somewhere out in South America, where the forests lie in ruin They shout - we'd better get these natives some clothes Because their videos are coming in soon Chorus: Creeping, creeping footsteps around the world While they promise us everything we've ever wanted
