about

It can be easy to forget but the corporates need our money so we always have power over them (2003)

lyrics

A branded frothy Latte creates' connections to the soul',
And the logo on those trainers becomes the new rock 'n' roll,
Amidst all the debris lies the independent's grave,
The cost of progress to give us what we crave.

A day after MTV and the Berlin Wall tumbles down,
A force against evil or space for another Nike Town?,
And here all the debris makes way for yet more
Shiny must have ware in the global superstore.

In search of what's cool the corporates come scouring,
It's us they must convince that we need to be devouring,
The balance of power somehow gets lost here,
We control their share price and so their fear.

And the power isn't balanced - we can control,
we're never powerless - we can control,
We walk the extra mile and we can control,
We think through the choice and we can control,
