What's it gonna take to slow us down To let the silence spin us around What's it gonna take to drop this town We've been spinning at the speed of sound Stepping out of those convenience stores What could we want but more, more, more From the third world to the corporate core We are the symphony of modern humanity If we're adding to the noise Turn off this song If we're adding to the noise Turn off your stereo, radio, video I don't know what they're gonna think of next Genetic engineers of the most high tech A couple new ways I could fall into debt I'm a nervous wreck, But I'll bet that that T.V. set Tells us what we wanted to hear But none of these sound bites are coming in clear From the third world to your corporate ears We are the symphony of modern humanity If we're adding to the noise Turn off this song
