[00:16.11] | And the man declared |
[00:29.02] | All the dirt, the dust and hair |
[00:32.16] | Will vanish right into the air |
[00:36.27] | For a little while |
[00:39.41] | You can purchase with a smile |
[00:42.87] | And a credit card, without a care |
[00:47.88] | It never seemed that notable |
[00:51.51] | Those cartridges, disposable |
[00:54.99] | Just go away come garbage day |
[00:59.96] | The tragedy in utero |
[01:02.95] | Reveals a bleeding embryo |
[01:06.56] | An ecosystem in decay |
[01:14.14] | (Chorus) |
[01:15.18] | This is spiritual neglect |
[01:18.01] | This is cause and effect |
[01:21.42] | And so |
[01:25.29] | With every move that you select |
[01:28.51] | You are the cause and the effect |
[01:32.03] | And so it goes |
[01:38.10] | It's a polished act |
[01:40.94] | As you present the basic facts |
[01:44.94] | And the sale was unilateral |
[01:49.29] | And the papers said |
[01:52.40] | "More than fifty thousand dead" |
[01:56.52] | And the damage was collateral |
[02:01.17] | The sounds of bombs and fire alarms |
[02:04.70] | A mother with her babe in arms |
[02:08.24] | Hurries toward the cellar door |
[02:13.00] | Fire burned within her heart |
[02:16.01] | The strike was swift, the bomb was smart |
[02:19.61] | A flash of light and nothing more |
[02:27.46] | (Chorus) |
[02:27.87] | This is spiritual neglect |
[02:30.97] | This is cause and effect |
[02:34.65] | And so |
[02:38.49] | With every move that you select |
[02:41.63] | You are the cause and the effect |
[02:45.07] | And so it goes |
[03:18.98] | Oh... |
[03:20.28] | Every deal and every pact |
[03:22.98] | Every time you fail to act |
[03:26.60] | Every wrapper, plastic tray |
[03:30.10] | Everything you throw away |
[03:33.63] | And every time you cast your vote |
[03:36.94] | Wars, domestic and remote |
[03:40.66] | Everything you've ever heard |
[03:44.56] | Every move and every word... |
[03:49.41] | And the lion said |
[03:52.30] | "Praise to God, the lamb is dead |
[03:56.27] | Hail the mighty interest rate" |
[04:00.67] | And the path was found |
[04:03.49] | To attain the higher ground |
[04:07.71] | Where the corporate raiders congregate |
[04:12.32] | But in a far and distant land |
[04:15.88] | Dying in the desert sand |
[04:19.47] | The victim of hypocrisy |
[04:24.09] | How could no one recognize |
[04:27.26] | Reflected in that child's eyes |
[04:30.84] | Was fear and pain and you and me |
[04:36.50] | (Chorus) |
[04:38.94] | This is spiritual neglect |
[04:42.68] | This is cause and effect |
[04:46.23] | And so |
[04:50.17] | With every move that you select |
[04:53.42] | You are the cause and the effect |
[04:56.81] | And so... |
[05:00.50] | This is all that you direct |
[05:03.96] | You are the cause and the effect |
[05:07.49] | And so |
[05:11.14] | With every move that you select |
[05:14.51] | You are the cause and the effect |
[05:17.96] | And so... it goes |
