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 a 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 dont know 

what they're gonna think of next 

genetic engineers of the most high tech 

A couple new ways 

to fall into debt 

I'm a nervous wreck but I'll bet 

that that T.V. set 

tells us what we've wanted to hear 

But none of these sound bites 

are coming in clear 

From the third world to the corporate ear 

we are the symphony of modern humanity.
