The people have heard the news
You may not like what they said
Way out on the desert sands
They call her the "Queen of Oil"
Don't need no Madison Avenue War
Don't need no more boxes I can't see
Covered in flags but I can't see them on TV
The restless consumer flies
Around the world each day
With such an appetite for taste and grace
People from around the world
We're starving and dying from our disease
When you could do so much more
Don't need to know how many people are like me
Don't need no side effects like diarrhea or sexual death
The restless consumer lies
A hundred voices from a hundred lands
People are starving here and there
They don't see the world the way you do
There is no mission accomplished here
A hundred voices from a hundred lands
Don't need no terror squad
Don't want no damned Jihad
Blowin' 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
The restless consumer flies
Around the world each day
With such an appetite for efficiency
