Time's running out on this merry go round A foolish pick is played The running game And all the warning signs the plodding rush of time That we all sullen muddle through And now we bow down and pray At the neon god we made That we bought in haste for selfish gain And now we can't turn around 'Till we take the whole thing down With a dear price on our head The animals know what's in store The have plenty enough's all beg for more And we all forgot what we're fighting for A foolish prize we just can't ignore ♪ Now it's consumption by design on the production line We tally up the sums for lucky ones It's the have and have nots 'Cause the system's all been bought For the fortunate and few And we know when life gets hard We start charging up our cards So many goods to use how can you refuse? So ignore the missing bees, the climate rising by degrees And lay down your weary head The animals know what's in store The have plenty enough's all beg for more And we all forgot what we're fighting for A foolish prize we just can't ignore ♪ The animals know what's in store The have plenty enough's all beg for more And we don't know what we're fighting for A foolish prize... ♪ The animals know what's in store The have plenty enough's all beg for more And we don't know what we're fighting for A foolish prize, just can't ignore
