Chumbawamba - Total Control lyrics
[Chumbawamba - Total Control lyrics]
Product sells people die
Same revolution wrapped in lies
In these sexist, drugged-up rock and roles
The biggest prizes to the biggest fools
Ask the puppet masters who pull the strings
'Who makes the money when the puppets sing?'
Ask the corporations
'Where does the money go?'
Ask the empty-bellied children
'Tell me what are we singing for?'
Until we pull down the walls
It'll stay the same
Until we find something new make it change
I know there most be more
So what are we singing for?
I know there most be more
"These puppets, underneath the skin
Have the same problems as you
And me -they want
To be loved, don't know where to
Begin just a wall's width away
But impossible to
Get close offstage, with nothing
To hide behind
The puppets are running away and meanwhile
We're running away from
Ourselves and meanwhile, we're
Running away from ourselves and meanwhile
We're running away from ourselves"
If our music makes you happy or content
It has failed
If our music entertains, but doesn't inspire
It has failed the music's not a threat
Action the music inspires can be a threat!
