Lyrics

©2002 M. Olekshy (all rights reserved)

a new era dawning
at the pinnacle of man's excesses
exploiting the weak, exploiting the poor
raping our mother earth
to strengthen the mighty dollar
democracy crushed for investor returns

someone show me the way
before its too late

living so blind
too absorbed with ourselves to awaken
our sins are exposed to the world
resentment is building
while henchmen guard power structures
resistance attacking the walls of greed

I bid thee well, my corporate master
consumed by consumption
unleash the wave of conditioned loyalty
from the boardrooms to the streets

I caught your smile, and it was so smug

enron, nortel, fresh files for the shredder
feel the nudge, embrace the flavour of the week
earn your dimes to wane the pressure insurmountable
and buckle from the transmitted onslaught
"don't buckle, it's not impossible"

exxon, walmart, life is grand on the yacht
I saw the news and caught your smile oh so smug
as you exercised your options and resigned
I buckled from the transmitted onslaught
"don't buckle, seems unnatural, but it's not impossible"

the wares of mankind on display
shining proud for all to see
judgement day of reckoning
or all that is to be
extinction or salvation
the moment has now come
at the center of the sun
we all become one

we can't be saved by our own weaponry
head down and pray to your creator

we had our chances but we never learned
oblivious to our master and unwilling to serve
soon we will all feel the pain

a shot of anger, the blinding light
will save and destroy tonight
behold its beautiful fury
the skies become alight

the wares of mankind in remains
burning bright for all to see
judgement day of reckoning
or all that is to be
extinction or salvation
the moment has now come
at the center of the sun
extinction or salvation?
