The Restless Consumer

The people have heard the news

The people have spoken

You may not like what they said

But they weren't jokin'

Way out on the desert sands

Lies a desperate lover

They call her the Queen of Oil

So much to discover

(Don't need) don't need no ad machine telling me what I need

(Don't need) don't need no Madison Avenue War

(Don't need) don't need no more boxes I can see

(Don't need) covered in flags but I can't see them on TV

(Don't need) don't need no more lies

(Don't need) don't need no more lies

(Don't need) don't need no more lies

(Don't need) don't need no more lies

The restless consumer flies

Around the world each day

With such an appetite for taste and grace

People from around the world

Need someone to listen

We're starving and dying from our disease

We need your medicine

How do you pay for war and leave us dyin'?

When you could do so much more

You're not even tryin'

(Don't need) don't need no TV ad tellin' me how sick I am

(Don't need) don't want to leave

Don't want to know how many people are like me

(Don't need) don't need no dizziness, don't need no nausea

(Don't need) don't need no side effects like diarrhea or sexual death

(Don't need) don't need no more lies

(Don't need) don't need no more lies

(Don't need) don't need no more lies

(Don't need) don't need no more lies

The restless consumer lies asleep in her hotel

With such an appetite

For anything that sells

A hundred voices from a hundred lands

Need someone to listen

People are starving here and there (need someone to listen)

They don't see the world the way you do

There's no mission accomplished here (need someone to listen)

Just death to thousands

A hundred voices from a hundred lands

Cry out in unison (need someone to listen)

(Don't need) don't need no terror squad

Don't want no damned Jihad

(Don't need) blowin' themselves away in my hood

(Don't need) but we don't talk to them

And we don't learn from them

(Don't need) hate don't negotiate with Good, don't need

(Don't need) don't need no more lies

(Don't need) don't need no more lies

(Don't need) don't need no more lies

(Don't need) don't need no more lies

The restless comsumer flies around the world each day

With such an appetite for efficiency

And pace

Don't need no more lies

Don't need no more lies

Don't need no more lies

Don't need no more lies

Don't need no more lies
