The Industrial Revolution (And How It Ruined My Life)

Once, long ago there was a timeIn what now seems a distant landEach small boutique was precious and unique'Cause every little thing was made by handThen there came a revolutionThe progress of production was its aimNow instead of one, there are manyAnd each costs just a pennyBut every single one looks just the same

Now there's a Starbucks on every bloody cornerMcDonald's on everybody's streetThere's White Castle, Wendy's and WalmartAnd then it all repeatsIf you're the kind that looks down on the massesEven for you there's a feintGet some New Rocks or a pair of DocsLook just like those who ain't

(Chorus)And that is how (Tell us how)It came to be (How can it be?)After two long centuriesThat in the name (What's in a name?)Of human greedThe industrial revolution fixed everything for me

And so now if one does well with a businessThey open two more and then threeThey buy in bulk in big massive hulksAt which point it's nearly freeAs they grow bigger their prices get lowerUntil they become a chainThe smaller stores all shutter their doors and buckle 'neath the strain

(Chorus)And that is how (Tell us how)It came to be (How can it be?)After two long centuriesThat in the name (What's in a name?)Of human greedThe industrial revolution fixed everything for everyoneIt came into our lives and gave usUniformity by taking choice away from you and me

(Chorus)And that is how (Tell us how)It came to be (How can it be?)After two long centuriesThat in the name (What's in a name?)Of human greedThe industrial revolution fixed everythingFor every bloody oneIt came into our lives and gave usUniformity by taking choice away from you(Taking choice away from me!)Taking choice away from you and me

Now the machines are working tirelesslyThrough all night and dayMaking garbage in our imageFor a world that's made our wayAnd they won't stop until every inchFrom Peru to BombayLooks like a mall in the US of A
