we are so fantastic we are bright lights at night
we are followed by poor folks that are hoping to get alright

and high on abundance and our luxury show
no we don't even promise it is fast selling though

the greed of the rich man and the fear of the poor
is a winning combination to bring humanity down and out

the greed for the money and the greed for the oil
the greed for the power makes me wanna spoil the party now

4
it's not for those who lie right to your face
it's not for those who die so filthy rich - oh no it makes me cry
and laugh in their faces
they're going down with me
but who has more to win or loose i am not sure
I wanna break out
I wanna break out
and shout it aloud

oh yeah

we all swarmed out for planet b
but none there was
that's what we could have known if we had thought
when we still could

how can we think that we could build
how to create if we can't love
how could we think that we could save another world
when all we do is waste away
the perfect place that was for free

yes we've been told to buy and sell
that's what we did we didn't tell
disposable scrap from perfect grace 
oh bummer that was wasted as well

4
we've been there, we've done that as well
we spin around in circles and have fun like hell
with the dirty old man who is lying and dying
he's dizzy, he's hazing
still dreaming of wasting
still greedily eating and fed by the needy
still wasting it oh no
we're wasting it

3
we are so fantastic we are bright lights at night
we are followed by poor folks that are hoping to get alright

and high on abundance and our luxury show
no we don't even promise it is fast selling though

the poor folks feed the fat men but only to survive
in the global high culture that's soon gonna die

the weak and the weary the pale and the gray
the drowning and hopeless they all make their way

paradise one way but there's no relief
cold as it's been but I'd love to believe

4
yeah i'd love to believe

yeah how i'd love to believe
oh how i'd love to believe

i'd love to believe it would not all go down the drain
i'd love to believe that we have not all gone insane
