225 (2005 Remastered Version) - New Model Army[00:00:00]
She stares at the screen [00:00:17]
At the little words of green[00:00:19]
Tries to do remember what to do next[00:00:21]
There's a trace of frustration[00:00:25]
That crosses her face[00:00:27]
Searching for the key she should press[00:00:30]
And I would help her if I only knew how[00:00:34]
But these things are[00:00:38]
A mystery to me too[00:00:39]
And it seems that[00:00:42]
The Corporate eyes they are watching[00:00:44]
She fears for her job[00:00:47]
And the moments are passing[00:00:48]
I stare at her nametag[00:00:51]
And I think to myself[00:00:53]
Both you and I [00:00:55]
We never asked for any of this[00:00:57]
So let's take a walk up past[00:01:07]
The chemical works[00:01:10]
Where the sky turns green at night[00:01:12]
And we'll talk about getting away from here[00:01:16]
Some different kind of life[00:01:21]
But even in the freshest mountain air[00:01:27]
The jet fighters practise overhead[00:01:31]
And they're drilling these hills[00:01:35]
For uranium deposits[00:01:37]
And they'll bury the waste[00:01:40]
For our children to inherit[00:01:42]
And though this is all done[00:01:44]
For our own benefit [00:01:46]
I swear we never asked for any of this[00:01:50]
What's golden age of communication[00:02:01]
Means everyone talks at[00:02:05]
The same time[00:02:07]
And liberty just means[00:02:10]
The freedom to exploit[00:02:12]
Any weakness that you can find[00:02:14]
Turn off the TV just for a while[00:02:19]
Let us whisper to each other instead[00:02:22]
And we'll hope that[00:02:26]
The Corporate ears do not listen[00:02:29]
Lest we find ourselves committing[00:02:31]
Some kind of treason[00:02:33]
And filed in the tapes without rhyme [00:02:35]
Without reason[00:02:38]
While they tell us that[00:02:40]
It's all for our own protection [00:02:41]
I swear we never asked for any of this[00:02:44]
I swear we never asked for any of this[00:02:52]
I swear we never asked for any of this[00:03:01]
I swear[00:03:10]
