The Single Edit version of "Everything Is Wrong". It's Only Words, Unless they're True! Les plays the Waterstone TP-12/32 12 String Bass on the track and in the Video!
In Japan, they treat a man, with a long term 50 year plan
Get reward, without a sword,
Loyalty encouraged with a Corporate fan,
But in the States, no one relates,
Board members argue, and stock holders debate,
Promoting rot, a gordian knot,
Lawyers and accountants, and God knows what!
Raise the stakes and turn the screw,
It's only words, unless they're true!
Everything Is Wrong, Nothing's really right
Can we ever win in a fixed game fight
Everybody knows, Corporate power grows,
Something's gotta change, fore the whole thing blows
Endless drone, wake up alone,
Driving in the dark to work, you're never home,
Another resume, you while the day away,
Fire up the Internet, no work or play,
A shallow shell, a living hell,
Alert the Corporation with a mission bell,
Heed the call, before you fall,
Lost your motivation, used to stand so tall,
Wave your wand, reverse the spell,
and change the drill, you know so well
Everything Is Wrong, nothing's really right
Can we ever win in a fixed game fight
Everybody knows, Corporate power grows,
Something's gotta change, fore the whole thing blows
At the coffee machine, the gossip stays clean,
Complain about the boss, but never say what you mean,
Fight for praise, another raise,
Do what you gotta do to brave the Corporate maze,
People sweat and slave, plying their trade,
Others get rich off the work that they made,
Nothing really works, false hope perks,
Just around the corner, a new world lurks
Marriages destroyed, people stay annoyed,
Families fall apart, too many unemployed,
Speeches on TV, "A Job For You And Me!"
Nothing ever fixes the void that we see,
Someday I've got a hunch, the roles will be reversed
And we'll do lunch in another Universe,
Compassion will rule, You'll be in OUR school,
Then somebody else will get to play the fool,
Stand up and fight, get out of your chair
And wash that brain, right out of your hair,
Everything Is Wrong, nothing's really right
Can we ever win in a fixed game fight
Everybody knows, Corporate power grows,
Something's gotta change, fore the whole thing blows
