lyrics

Simple World

everyone was primitive
and not so long ago
in harmony with fish and fowl
all caught up in the flow

when there came a surplus
a priestly killer caste
raised above the common folk
the demon stirred at last

streaming fields of consequence
then down to hades hurled
we hallowed exploitation
it’s a simple world

next the germ of capital
the making to amass
soon the iron bottom line
and manacles of class

now the earth’s a prison
where profit rules us all
poisoning our habitat
and headed for the wall

streaming fields of consequence
then down to hades hurled
we hallowed exploitation
it’s a simple world

despite our techno savvy
we’re easy marks to fool
drowning in a sea of lies
where only numbers rule

the demon straddles everywhere
its savage edict: more
we kneel before the temple
an open bleeding sore

streaming fields of consequence
then down to hades hurled
we hallowed exploitation
it’s a simple world 2X
