Automation (Live at Shibuya Kokaido, Feb 21 1991)

歌詞

Empty faces they fall into place So confused but they join in the race Punching time cards to keep a nine to five Automation, it keeps them alive When you rise to be someone they put you on hold 'Cause that same old song's got them searchin' for gold Politicaians they sell you their dreams Though they don't realize what they mean Tainted hands rest on soft and easy chairs It's the sign of the times everywhere When you rise to be someone they put you on hold 'Cause that same old song's got them searchin' for gold While the man on the street has to work every day All the big shots ride around in limousines Take a step into the future tell me what you see Is it true what wisemen say or is it make believe Can you take the pressure when you're forced into the race On a one-way journey to a colony in space Empty faces they fall into place So confused but they join in the race Punching time cards to keep a nine to five Automation, it keeps them alive When you rise to be someone they put you on hold 'Cause that same old song's got them searchin' for gold Neon signs light the dark city streets Noisy peddlers they turn on the heat Revolutions they take their turn around Bad relations don't gain any ground When you rise to be someone they put you on hold 'Cause that same old song's got them searchin' for gold When I walk on the edge where I'm losing control No material thing can make me lose my control I don't think I'll rest at ease to think you'll change the laws When you send our sons away to fight your stupid wars Wasting hard earned money to support your master plan But your nuclear answer brings destruction to your hands Sacred are the few who try to save the universe Even though the dawn is near to say goodbye To what we once called paradise Take a step into the future tell me what you see Is it true what wisemen say or is it make believe Can you take the pressure when you're forced into the race On a one-way journey to a colony in space I don't think I'll rest at ease to think you'll change the laws When you send our sons away to fight your stupid wars Wasting hard earned money to support your master plan
