They will laugh in denial
Mark it down in your file
Make you doubt your own mind
And call this love a cliché
But they'll never say
That it's past 11:59
Men of illusion with market solutions
Steal with pollution the whole sky
Tar sandman Stephen, the god he believes
in
Must want to get even with us
The ones in the Hummers couldn't
look dumber
They have gone numb so move on
Behind the distractions are wholesale
extractions
So tear the white flag from our mast
They keep changing the gears
Toys are guns, joy is fear
Make you doubt your own mind
And call this love a cliché
But they'll never say
That it's past 11:59
Forget the wild-eyed bearded man
Cardboard doomsday sign in hand
We've got power shovel caravans devouring
our island
'Cause they do understand
And they will break our hands
Send us out of our minds
And call this love a cliché
But they'll never say
That it's past 11:59
They'll look you in the eye
Flash the cash while you die
Make you doubt your own mind
And call this love a cliché
But they'll never say
That it's past 11:59
