Ladies and gentlemen, this is your new captain
And you'll do as I tell you
Ladies and gentlemen, you will heed our demands
What you hear may disturb you
Ladies and gentlemen, when one demand is met
There will always be another to fill the gap
Ladies and gentlemen, keep your minds on yourselves
And forget what is out there
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your new captain
I don't mean to alarm you
Ladies and gentlemen, understand you are pawns
And we don't wish to harm you
In a world consumed by greed
There is only so much can be achieved by peaceful means
For the unheard and disrespected minority
Down on your knees
Get down
Get down
Down on your knees
These are desperate times
Calling for desperate measures
These are desperate times
Calling for desperate, desperate, desperate action
Ladies and gentlemen, there's a whole world out there
Just beyond the illusions
While the masters shove lies down your throats
Seasoned with paranoid delusions
You are dictated to relinquish your cares
To the power of the dollar to the consumer rat race
Shut your eyes take a bite take a pill
Do whatever it takes to sedate
Down on your knees
Get down
Get down
Down on your knees
These are desperate times
Calling for desperate measures
These are desperate times
Calling for desperate, desperate, desperate action
Ladies and gentlemen, we are addressing you
The privileged few who have nothing better to do than consume
Ladies and gentlemen, here's your wake-up call
To the world that exists outside your walls
Millions are suffering in poverty
While you get fat on a feast of greed
Down on your knees
Get down
Get down
Down on your knees
Get down on your knees
