What's it gonna take

to slow us down

to let the silence spin us around?

What's it gonna take

to drop this town?

We've been spinning at the speed of sound.



Stepping out of those convenience stores

what could we want but more more more?

From the third world

to the corporate core

we are a symphony of modern humanity



If we're adding to the noise

turn off this song

If we're adding to the noise

turn off your stereo, stereo, stereo



I dont know

what they're gonna think of next

genetic engineers of the most high tech

A couple new ways

to fall into debt

I'm a nervous wreck but I'll bet

that that T.V. set

tells us what we've wanted to hear

But none of these sound bites

are coming in clear

From the third world to the corporate ear

we are the symphony of modern humanity.
