Operation Ivy - Freeze Up lyrics

Empty factories to the east and all our waste The shape of things that came shows on the broken workers face To the west you'll find our silicon promised lands where Machines replace our minds for systematic profit plans The course of human progress staggers like a drunk Its steps are quick and heavy and its mind is slow and blunt I look for optimism but I just dont know Its seeds are planted in a poison place where nothing grows [Chorus] It's 1989 stand up and take a look around Weathers bitter tension it seems is sinking down Drunk with power and fighting one another Every hour shows the winter getting harder There's a freeze up coming... [ad libs] One nation stands the tallest radiating blinding light Plastic and fluorescent energy robbing us of sight Set in our way content with our decay We wave the flag of freedom as we conquer and invade Ever ask yourself where's my place in this hell But no ones there to tell you cuz they dont know that themselves The well rehearsed lines from our elated politicians No longer offer solace we can see the self destruction [Chorus] Just one political song, just one political song to 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]
