Warner Music Australia - The Restless Consumer lyrics

[Verse 1] The people have heard the news The people have spoken You may not like what they said But they weren't joking Way out on the desert sands Lies a desperate lover They call her the "Queen of Oil" So much to discover Don't need no ad machine Telling me what I need Don't need no Madison Avenue war Don't need no more boxes I can see Covered in flags but I can't see them on TV [Chorus] Don't need no more lies [x4] [Verse 2] 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 dying? When you could do so much more You're not even trying Don't need no TV ad Telling me how sick I am Don't want to know how many people are like me Don't need no dizziness Don't need no nausea Don't need no side effects like diarrhea or s**ual d**h [Chorus] Don't need no more lies[x4] [Verse 2] 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 dying here and there They don't see the world the way you do There's no mission accomplished here Just d**h to thousands A hundred voices from a hundred lands Cry out in unison Don't need no terror squad Don't want no damned Jihad Blowing themselves away in my hood But we don't talk to them So we don't learn from them Hate don't negotiate with good [Chorus] [Bridge] The restless consumer flies Around the world each day With such an appetite for efficiency And pace [Chorus]
