the markets are starting to question themselves
the bloggers exposing our blisters
and the everyday words of everyday people
are shifting the tone of the televised speeches

and the artists are starting to question themselves
the poets are speaking like leaders
and the everyday choices of everyday people
are facing the storms and curing diseases

so go skype an ipod, premix some wages
but don’t forget to make a version for the sages
because when we look beyond our next meal, our next post,
we are responsible for our everyday votes,
the ones we use to buy our shoes, to buy our homes, to buy our tunes.
yes I'm talking about our dollars, our euros, our pesos, our yuan

because what if the next 20 years are happening again?
what if we’ve we already arrived, it's 2025?
and the doomsday duos, the war and peace heroes
haven't avoided the global cooling,
the flu grown zeros, and the forgotten people

yes the markets are starting to question themselves
the bloggers exposing our blisters
yes the everyday words of everyday people
are shifting the tone of the televised speeches

and the artists are starting to question themselves
the poets are speaking like leaders
and the everyday choices of everyday people
are facing the storms and curing diseases.
