The people have heard the news
|
The people have spoken
|
You may not like what they said
|
But they weren't jokin'
|
|
Way out on the desert sands
|
Lies a desperate lover
|
They call her the "Queen of Oil"
|
So much to discover
|
|
Don't need no ad machine
|
Telling me what I need
|
Don't need no Madison Avenue War
|
Don't need no more boxes I can see
|
|
Covered in flags but I can't see them on TV
|
|
Don't need no more lies
|
Don't need no more lies
|
Don't need no more lies
|
Don't need no more lies
|
|
The restless consumer flies
|
Around the world each day
|
With such an appetite for taste and grace
|
|
People from around the world
|
Need someone to listen
|
We're starving and dying from our disease
|
We need your medicine
|
How do you pay for war
|
And leave us dyin' ?
|
When you could do so much more
|
You're not even tryin'
|
|
Don't need no TV ad
|
Tellin' me how sick I am
|
Don't want to know how many people are like me
|
Don't need no dizziness
|
Don't need no nausea
|
Don't need no side effects like diarrhea or sexual death
|
|
Don't need no more lies
|
Don't need no more lies
|
Don't need no more lies
|
Don't need no more lies
|
|
The restless consumer lies
|
Asleep in her hotel
|
With such an appetite
|
For anything that sells
|
|
A hundred voices from a hundred lands
|
Need someone to listen
|
People are dying here and there
|
They don't see the world the way you do
|
There's no mission accomplished here
|
Just death to thousands
|
|
A hundred voices from a hundred lands
|
Cry out in unison
|
|
Don't need no terror squad
|
Don't want no damned Jihad
|
Blowin' themselves away in my hood
|
But we don't talk to them
|
So we don't learn from them
|
Hate don't negotiate with Good
|
|
Don't need no more lies
|
Don't need no more lies
|
Don't need no more lies
|
Don't need no more lies
|
|
The restless comsumer flies
|
Around the world each day
|
With such an appetite for efficiency
|
And pace...
|
|
Don't need no more lies.
