lyrics

There's a feeling in the air
That can't be explained
This guy come to town
And the people all just got strange
It's the bottom line
The world you find
When you open the door

It's like the law of the jungle
Or diminishing return
We're standing in Lafayette Park
Watching the Emperor
Cower while America burns
To this new Mason-Dixon Line
Don't you turn that blind eye no more

Its a corporate culture and
We're cultural creatures
I'm just trying to turn all these
Bugs into features
Livin' out on the bottom line
Reading dollar signs
And the Art of War

Ah, the Medium is the Message
Ya gotta understand it
If Moses had an iPhone there'd be
Ten thousand commandments
Workin' on the bottom line
Under the function you find
To make more

Well we heard it all before
But it's for real this time
We're waiting at the station for the 11:59
I can see the signals change
See it comin' down the track
That slow train comin'
To get the rich off our backs
Down on the Bottom Line
Don't you look behind you
No more
Matter makes time
Time makes space
And that's the end of the story
Right on down to the end of the
Human race
It's just Being and Time
That's the bottom line

Matter makes time
Time makes space
And that's the end of the story
Right on down to the end of the
Human race
Nur die Sein und Zeit
Unter dem Stich der Sterblichkeit
