And the man declared[00:00:16]
All the dirt, the dust and hair[00:00:29]
Will vanish right into the air[00:00:32]
For a little while[00:00:36]
You can purchase with a smile[00:00:39]
And a credit card, without a care[00:00:42]
It never seemed that notable[00:00:47]
Those cartridges, disposable[00:00:51]
Just go away come garbage day[00:00:54]
The tragedy in utero[00:00:59]
Reveals a bleeding embryo[00:01:02]
An ecosystem in decay[00:01:06]
(Chorus)[00:01:14]
This is spiritual neglect[00:01:15]
This is cause and effect[00:01:18]
And so[00:01:21]
With every move that you select[00:01:25]
You are the cause and the effect[00:01:28]
And so it goes[00:01:32]
It's a polished act[00:01:38]
As you present the basic facts[00:01:40]
And the sale was unilateral[00:01:44]
And the papers said[00:01:49]
"More than fifty thousand dead"[00:01:52]
And the damage was collateral[00:01:56]
The sounds of bombs and fire alarms[00:02:01]
A mother with her babe in arms[00:02:04]
Hurries toward the cellar door[00:02:08]
Fire burned within her heart[00:02:13]
The strike was swift, the bomb was smart[00:02:16]
A flash of light and nothing more[00:02:19]
(Chorus)[00:02:27]
This is spiritual neglect[00:02:27]
This is cause and effect[00:02:30]
And so[00:02:34]
With every move that you select[00:02:38]
You are the cause and the effect[00:02:41]
And so it goes[00:02:45]
Oh...[00:03:18]
Every deal and every pact[00:03:20]
Every time you fail to act[00:03:22]
Every wrapper, plastic tray[00:03:26]
Everything you throw away[00:03:30]
And every time you cast your vote[00:03:33]
Wars, domestic and remote[00:03:36]
Everything you've ever heard[00:03:40]
Every move and every word...[00:03:44]
And the lion said[00:03:49]
"Praise to God, the lamb is dead[00:03:52]
Hail the mighty interest rate"[00:03:56]
And the path was found[00:04:00]
To attain the higher ground[00:04:03]
Where the corporate raiders congregate[00:04:07]
But in a far and distant land[00:04:12]
Dying in the desert sand[00:04:15]
The victim of hypocrisy[00:04:19]
How could no one recognize[00:04:24]
Reflected in that child's eyes[00:04:27]
Was fear and pain and you and me[00:04:30]
(Chorus)[00:04:36]
This is spiritual neglect[00:04:38]
This is cause and effect[00:04:42]
And so[00:04:46]
With every move that you select[00:04:50]
You are the cause and the effect[00:04:53]
And so...[00:04:56]
This is all that you direct[00:05:00]
You are the cause and the effect[00:05:03]
And so[00:05:07]
With every move that you select[00:05:11]
You are the cause and the effect[00:05:14]
And so... it goes[00:05:17]
