Freeze Up (2007 Remaster)

Empty factories to the east and all our waste The shape of things that came show on the broken worker's face To the west you'll find a silicon promised land Where machines all replace their minds with systematic profit plans The course of human progress staggers like a drunk It's pace is quick and heavy but it's mind is slow and blunt I look for optimism but i just dont know Its seeds are planted in a poison place where nothing grows Its 1989 stand up and take a look around Weathers' bitter tension it seems is sinking down Drunk with power And fighting one another Every hour shows the winter's getting harder There's a freeze up, there's a freeze up coming! There's a freeze up--freeze up coming! There's a freeze up, there's a freeze up coming! There's a freeze up coming! One nation stands the tallest radiating blinding light Plastic and flourescent energy robbing us of sight Set in our way- content with our decay We wave the flag of freedom as we conquer and invade Ever ask yourself where's my place in this hell? But no one's there to tell you cuz they dont know that themselves The well-rehearsed lines from our elated politicians No longer offer solace we can see the self-destruction It's 1989 stand up and take a look around Weather's bitter tension it seems is sinking down Drunk with power and fighting one another Every hour shows the winter's getting harder There's a freeze up, there's a freeze up coming! There's a freeze up--freeze up coming! There's a freeze up, there's a freeze up coming! There's a freeze up coming! Let's go! Just one political song, just one political song To drop into the list that stretches years and years long Just one political song, just one political song To drop into the list that stretches years and years long Static and division is increasing like a storm We are sheltered We are forewarned Nothing can be changed except ourselves Nothing can be changed except ourselves! There's a freeze up, There's a freeze up coming, There's a freeze up, There's a freeze up coming, There's a freeze up, there's a freeze up coming! There's a freeze up--freeze up coming! There's a freeze up, there's a freeze up coming! There's a freeze up coming!
