Say yes to a real life ambition   Say yes to our hopes and our plans   Forget about your indecision   Let's get the beast off our land      A tree that can grow no longer   A beach that has got no sand   I would pay out a king's ransom   If we could just understand      Got your last meal, filled up with pesticide   Hamburger, chain third world infanticide   Got robot, car, your jobs will disappear   It's the politics of a brand new year      Manhattanization is coming   Open your eyes if you dare   Carry us on to the crossroads   Come to your senses and care      16 million, I can't hear you at all      Some say that's progress, I say that's cruel      You may be safe in your hemisphere   But there's so much junk in the stratosphere   We got our eyes on the firmament, hands on the armaments   Heads full of arguments and words for our monuments      I won't deny it, can we survive?      Some say that's progress, I say that's cruel
