Come with me my little innocents, there's a game that we can play
|
See how much we can change your world while you look the other way
|
Turn around as if to see if you can catch us cheat
|
And all you'll find are shining presents laid down at your feet
|
Take the bait, take the bait
|
Television is flash and Coke is nice and you can have the rest
|
Dream those dreams you've always had of wealth and power and sex
|
We'll run your mines, your factories and we'll take our little toll
|
And you can have these missiles too while we maintain control
|
|
Chorus:
|
Creeping, creeping footsteps around the world
|
While they promise us everything we've ever wanted
|
|
Hush now, don't you cry, don't you realise your crime?
|
Like lambs go to the slaughterhouse, we know our rights from wrongs
|
But we go down to the shopping mall with 30 silver coins
|
And somewhere out in South America, where the forests lie in ruin
|
They shout - we'd better get these natives some clothes
|
Because their videos are coming in soon
|
|
Chorus:
|
Creeping, creeping footsteps around the world
|
While they promise us everything we've ever wanted
|
