Without alarm, destruction creeps

and silently takes apart our ability to see

everything we, we say we stand for

and everything we, everything we hold dear

and if this is just the beginning

then I don't think i ever want to see the end

cause it looks so much like it's slipping away

like a tall tree as it's roots...



[Chorus]

Decay

like a heartland union town

Decay

like the leftwing underground

Decay

as another man hits the ground

and his life is brought right out from under him



Big business is gonna be the end

Big business is gonna be the end

Big business is gonna be the end

of everything we thought we knew so well



Big business is gonna be the end

Big business is gonna be the end

Big business is gonna be the end

of everything we thought we knew and loved



You think we have a soul,

you think we have a choice?

It's a material world

and convenience is the goal

and i fell it in me, the need for more

born to want, and consumer to the core

and if this is just the beginning

then I don't think i ever want to see the end

cause it looks so much like it's slipping away

like a tall tree as it's roots...



[Chorus]
