Lyrics

Uno, Dos, Tres, VAMOS!
Step right up to the sideshow of freaks
To the place they call America, Land of the Free
For a five dollar fee come see the home of the brave
Where they breed TV Junkies and consumer slaves
From cradle to the grave they are looking for the big score
Always wanting always craving, More more more
from shady politicians to the dirtiest whores
Pay up, buy the ticket and enjoy the tour
Gimme some truth, yeah, the kind that sticks
to the minds of the youth and not politics
and switch it up until what we perceive is the
easiest fix for our modern convenience
well dismiss technology because we're selling our souls
electronically, control-alt-delete let's reset the system
Push the keys, cuz we can use the wisdom
If this is what we want then we want it now
If this is what we want then we want it now
If this is what we want then we want it now
so don't just stand around
Hello, I'm mister corporate middle management heel
and I'll be kissing your ass with a bribe and a meal
So drink this martini just to seal the deal
I hear IKEA's got a sale and the price is a steal
Because I need a personality to match my drapes
and a brand new mentality to go with my paint
Project the hot style for the myspac e profile
Can't wait to be crowned the king of the shit pile

Now my first thought we need to draw the line
when at birth we're taught to succeed or die
Thereby mankind is beggin' the question,
What's taking so long? We need some intervention
A simple lesson in progression of the human race
we send a message with aggression with fear of losing face
avoid the shortcuts, resist the easy option, our eyes forced shut
there's no sign of stopping
If this is what we want then we want it now
If this is what we want then we want it now
If this is what we want then we want it now
so don't just stand around



Don't just stand around, motherfuckers!
If this is what we want then we want it now
If this is what we want then we want it now
If this is what we want then we want it now
so don't just stand around
