The Restless Consumer

The people have heard the news
The people have spoken
You may not like what they said
But they weren't jokin'Way out on the desert sands
Lies a desperate lover
They call her the "Queen of Oil"
So much to discoverDon'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 seeCovered in flags but I can't see them on TVDon't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more liesThe restless consumer flies
Around the world each day
With such an appetite for taste and gracePeople 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 know how many people are like me
Don't need no dizziness
Don't need no nausea
Don't need no side effects like diarrhea or sexual deathDon't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more liesThe restless consumer lies
Asleep in her hotel
With such an appetite
For anything that sellsA hundred voices from a hundred lands
Need someone to listen
People are dying here and there
They don't see the world the way you do
There's no mission accomplished here
Just death to thousandsA hundred voices from a hundred lands
Cry out in unisonDon't need no terror squad
Don't want no damned Jihad
Blowin' themselves away in my hood
But we don't talk to them
So we don't learn from them
Hate don't negotiate with GoodDon't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more liesThe restless comsumer flies
Around the world each day
With such an appetite for efficiency
And pace...Don't need no more lies.
