Without alarm, destruction creeps And silently takes apart our ability to see Everything we, we say we stand for And everything we, everything we hold dear And if this is just the beginning Then I don't think i ever want to see the end Cause it looks so much like it's slipping away Like a tall tree as it's roots... [Chorus] Decay Like a heartland union town Decay Like the leftwing underground Decay As another man hits the ground And his life is brought right out from under him Big business is gonna be the end Big business is gonna be the end Big business is gonna be the end Of everything we thought we knew so well Big business is gonna be the end Big business is gonna be the end Big business is gonna be the end Of everything we thought we knew and loved You think we have a soul, You think we have a choice? It's a material world And convenience is the goal And i fell it in me, the need for more Born to want, and consumer to the core And if this is just the beginning Then I don't think i ever want to see the end Cause it looks so much like it's slipping away Like a tall tree as it's roots... [Chorus]
