It’s a chain store massacre
Bodies lying everywhere
Those with the biggest clout
Punch the independents out
We’re spied on, herded round
Stranded in the underground
Abandoned with our happy meal
Inside a ring of steel
It’s disturbing
But it’s working
I don’t fit in
To a clone town
Where the faceless tasteless
Get rich quick
We’re too busy shopping
To notice the apocalypse
Fuming in the rat runs
No one’s having any fun
The streets are paved with chewing gum
My mind is going numb
It’s disturbing
But it’s working
I don’t fit in
To a clone town
Where all we know is what they tell us
Nothing slipping through the censors
Manufactured satisfaction
War reduced to pure abstraction
Too confused to take a stand
Imprisoned in a promised land
Predictable, repetitive and bland
And do you really want to know
How they get those prices so low?
It’s disturbing
But it’s working
I don’t fit in
To a clone town
You don’t really want to know
How they get those prices so low
Chain Cult is, out of all genres, the 21st century band I'm most excited to hear new stuff from. I'm not a music critic, but I REALLY love music. And this is good music. Isolated is at the very top of my "Most Often Played" playlist. Waiting for the "merch" tab to open up on their page. MartinezLucas
