Operation Ivy - Freeze Up Lyrics
Empty factories to the east and all our wasteThe shape of things that came shows on the broken workers faceTo the west you'll find our silicon promised lands whereMachines replace our minds for systematic profit plansThe course of human progress staggers like a drunkIts steps are quick and heavy and its mind is slow and bluntI look for optimism but I just dont knowIts seeds are planted in a poison place where nothing grows[Chorus]It's 1989 stand up and take a look aroundWeathers bitter tension it seems is sinking downDrunk with power and fighting one anotherEvery hour shows the winter getting harderThere's a freeze up coming... [ad libs]One nation stands the tallest radiating blinding lightPlastic and fluorescent energy robbing us of sightSet in our way content with our decayWe wave the flag of freedom as we conquer and invadeEver ask yourself where's my place in this hellBut no ones there to tell you cuz they dont know that themselvesThe well rehearsed lines from our elated politiciansNo longer offer solace we can see the self destruction[Chorus]Just one political song, just one political songto drop into the list that stretches years and years long[x2]Static and division is increasing like a storm,we are shelter, we are forewarned,nothing can be changed except ourselves,nothing can be changed except ourselves,There's a freeze up coming... [ad libs]
