The Restless Consumer
The people have heard the news
The people have spoken
You may not like what they said
But they weren't jokin'
Way out on the desert sands
Lies a desperate lover
They call her the Queen of Oil
So much to discover
(Don't need) don't need no ad machine telling me what I need
(Don't need) don't need no Madison Avenue War
(Don't need) don't need no more boxes I can see
(Don't need) covered in flags but I can't see them on TV
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
The restless consumer flies
Around the world each day
With such an appetite for taste and grace
People from around the world
Need someone to listen
We're starving and dying from our disease
We need your medicine
How do you pay for war and leave us dyin'?
When you could do so much more
You're not even tryin'
(Don't need) don't need no TV ad tellin' me how sick I am
(Don't need) don't want to leave
Don't want to know how many people are like me
(Don't need) don't need no dizziness, don't need no nausea
(Don't need) don't need no side effects like diarrhea or sexual death
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
The restless consumer lies asleep in her hotel
With such an appetite
For anything that sells
A hundred voices from a hundred lands
Need someone to listen
People are starving here and there (need someone to listen)
They don't see the world the way you do
There's no mission accomplished here (need someone to listen)
Just death to thousands
A hundred voices from a hundred lands
Cry out in unison (need someone to listen)
(Don't need) don't need no terror squad
Don't want no damned Jihad
(Don't need) blowin' themselves away in my hood
(Don't need) but we don't talk to them
And we don't learn from them
(Don't need) hate don't negotiate with Good, don't need
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
The restless comsumer flies around the world each day
With such an appetite for efficiency
And pace
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
The people have spoken
You may not like what they said
But they weren't jokin'
Way out on the desert sands
Lies a desperate lover
They call her the Queen of Oil
So much to discover
(Don't need) don't need no ad machine telling me what I need
(Don't need) don't need no Madison Avenue War
(Don't need) don't need no more boxes I can see
(Don't need) covered in flags but I can't see them on TV
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
(Don't need) don't need no more lies
The restless consumer flies

With such an appetite for efficiency
And pace
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
