where do you go where do you go for external forces

your body wakes but never waits to restore resources

do you believe in what you do or is it just for money

so if the world all does the same no wonder things are funny



just when you thought that you were building on a rock

you find you've dug yourself a hole

and you'll be facing such a futuristic shock

when ground control slips away from you

ground control slips away



how can you face the future



do you create and generate to build a land of plenty

or do you misappropriate until the world is empty

do you despise and criticise with no absolution

or do you stop to analyse to find a new solution



just when you thought that you were building on a rock

you find you've dug yourself a hole

and you'll be facing such a futuristic shock

when ground control slips away from you

ground control slips away



they're cutting up the world we know

for reasons they're ashamed to show

and all we love will have to go

they're storming us without a war

extending force until we fall

while we lie back and take it all



and everything our fathers made

and everything they fought to save

is trampled under this parade

and nothing's going to stop them now

their policy will know no bounds

as soon as they control the ground



under the flag of liberty you'll find corruption lurking

it's our responsibility to keep the system working



just when you thought that you were building on a rock

you find you've dug yourself a hole

and you'll be facing such a futuristic shock

when ground control slips away from you

ground control slips away
