From "Thru a Dirty Downtown Window," August 31, 2015.
lyrics
The company owns the product, children
The company owns your soul
The company is the perfect villain
When you feel you’re in a hole
Don’t blame the company, you’ve dug your own pit
You’re piling dirt on top
There’s nothing funny ‘bout playing the victim, it
Is time you start to start to stop
Imagination creates this whole world
Imagination calcified
It’s responsible for all our failures
Leave no ideas untried
It’s a failure of imagination
That’s right, that's right, that’s where we’re at
It’s the reason for your rank and station
What do think of that?
The government owns the life you’re living
Your life and your spirit
The piper’s calling, something new he’s giving
The tune he plays, can you hear it?
It’s a failure of imagination
That’s right, that's right, that’s where we’re at
Let work together, a new way of living
What do you think of that?
It begins within the revolution
And like ripples from a stone
It spreads outward and that’s the solution
We’ll work together, not alone
Combat this failure of imagination
Where you’re at’s not what you are
Combat this failure of imagination
Skyrocket like a shooting star
