Well the mouth is open

and the noise comes out

Ain't no reason for it

just a need to shout

It's malnutrition

We could fall apart

It's never delicate

Just something from the iron age



We shake it up

And we break it down

The sound of a satellite

Saying get me down

Yeah we shake it up

And we break it down

Hear the voice of America

In your home town



Well the film is running

'til the film runs out

There's no point of focus

It zooms in and out

It's information

And it leaves no mark

It's just as permanent

as painting in the iron age



I'm plugged in and loaded

Don't forget to phone in

The self destruct is holding

I'm counting, I'm counting, but only to three



Chorus

We get it right sometimes

We shine a light sometimes

We see the fish below the ice sometimes

Stand up and fight sometimes

We get the fright sometimes

How will we ever pay the price this time



Yeah we shake it up

And we break it down

It's east European, west European

It's moving so fast

It goes all the way round



Yeah he's on a mission from god

But he don't know whose

and he don't know why

Says I'm not a light in the darkness

More like a shadow on the lungs

I'm balanced here on the edge of anger

I'm standing here on an empty page

Sooner or later I'll start receiving

I've been standing here for days
