I wanna break out of the maze Escape the dark haze these days So many kids I know you're feelin' craved Crave material things and makin' slave wages ---> Play Riff 2a over: Baggy pockets only got laundry fluff Livin' where rich people always buyin' some stuff So you try to act tough and hide what's inside Hold your head high, getting fucked up and throwing dice ---> Play Riff 2b over: As bad as yours and bad enough I'm sure My heart wants to love but must navigate through war Cuz seein' that we're wired to short circuits Must mean the meek who will inherit the Earth already work it ---> Play Chorus over: There's a land by the sand grab the money Plastic the life end of the century People actin' fake can't see the omens Wake up yourself cause change is comin' There's a land by the sand grab the money Hollywood is such a place fuelin' the frenzy And everyone starts to peep around corners Before they take their next step they know their borders ---> Play Intro (x4) ---> Play Riff 1 over: In this $19.98 plus shipping and handling type netherworld Every time merchandise dips in our coffers We buy that image that cost of livin' uh huh The fakest shit and act cool our friends are watching ---> Play Riff 2a over: Attention shoppers check the selection in your reflection Don't you feel good, does it enhance you complextion You gotta have if you got to have it You gotta have if you got to have it ---> Play Riff 2b over: As the world turns and all the money we burn On the bullshit to make us happy sometimes we never learn that We're self-centered, we think we're better We look down as a people upon our elders ---> Play Chorus over: There's a land by the sand grab the money Plastic the life end of the century People actin' fake can't see the omens Wake up yourself cause change is comin' There's a land by the sand grab the money Hollywood is such a place fuelin' the frenzy And everyone starts to peep around corners Before they take their next step they know their borders ---> Play Ending (x3) ---> End on an F5 Questions, comments, corrections, requests to swede@email.unc.edu
