We've Stopped Believing Lyrics

Wall Street is shining like a star; we hope it doesn't fall and drag us down

Orwell is laughing in his grave; the Pigs have taught the Barnyard to sing: They say

Hearken to a future time, follow us and just believe – and you'll forget who you are

But I've stopped believing now, that heartless sacred cow

They've opened all the doors; they own the air we breathe

I've stopped believing now, we're hardly breathing now

Like adolescent whores, we've caught the new disease

A worker is what I used to be; this Free Market hell, my job has gone

Beamed down on satellite TV – Big Brother's latest war, a corporate con

Every day, a buzzword; the Enemy's within. It's all too clever, you see

We want our voices back; we've stopped believing that

As 'customers' we all should bow down and rejoice

See how the pigs all fly; the hungry hardly cry

They hardly say a word; they've all but lost their voice

We feel the great divide; we're urged to doubt ourselves

To idolise the famous, our dreams on bitter shelves

So we sit and watch TV, it prepares us – you and me

Cry havoc! We are your poodles

Yeah, the Pigs say: We'll fight for freedom, join us

There's a New World Order now

You just forget who you are

And all-the-world is thinking

I want my country back; I've stopped believing that

The pigs, should live as kings, while I join the homeless throng

The market can't provide, because it's sick inside

Yeah, all the world can see, there's something badly wrong

Crowds … I want my country back, I want my country back

I want my country back; this illusion's turning black

They keep us entertained, it's all that they bequeath

We've stopped believing now, instead we're grieving

They've opened all the doors; they own the air we breathe

Crowds (various languages) … I want my country back

We've stopped believing
