What makes missiles out of men What makes better politics Ensures a rich economy Makes good on life long threats It's a strange concoction, one part plutonium One part a lot of paranoia, cannibals slash congressmen It's people vs. people, a bout of you and me It's business here as usual, our business being greed What's that sound-it's the sound of a global market To the tune of the modern age It's the fuel that drives investments-burning It's the biggest industry, somethings in the air The climate is set and all the news on tv Ensures that you see what they want you to see While it's publicly funded, it's privately waged And the good advertisement is the one that misleads A broadcast fumble with his word up there In patriotic practiced stare A tele-prompted puppet for the people The president in literate sencerity The fucking chap can read And a boast of reassurance we can launch it overseas So we did, it caters to the comedy, caesura sera and so it is What's that sound-it's the sound of american interests Sung to the geo-political means It's everything assuring, it's national unyeilding security SongtexteThe forties bore a grand design Leo and Ed wrote a letter to Al and Al persuaded FDR Afraid the Germans would find it first, Frank wouldn't be second best So he gathered every scientist under Leslie Grove And when we left manhatten we were two nukes ahead The president said "this is flying colors, you gave us all and edge You have done your country service, nevermind your fellow man It's this sort of achievement that calls for demonstration A relevant reminder of whose finger's on the button"-so we did It caters to the comedy Caesura Sera, so it is What's that sound-It's the sound of an open market A cultural exchange The growning global family A fell good campaign What's that sound-It's the sound of american interests Sung to geo-political means It's the fuel that drives investments burning It's the drone of the machine What's that sound-It's the sound of a growing order It's a private tyranny It's a corporate threat to freedom And the rest of you and me Aus Songtexte Mania
