where do you go where do you go for external forces
 your body wakes but never waits to restore resources
 do you believe in what you do or is it just for money
 so if the world all does the same no wonder things are funny

 just when you thought that you were building on a rock
 you find you've dug yourself a hole
 and you'll be facing such a futuristic shock
 when ground control slips away from you
 ground control slips away

 how can you face the future

 do you create and generate to build a land of plenty
 or do you misappropriate until the world is empty
 do you despise and criticise with no absolution
 or do you stop to analyse to find a new solution

 just when you thought that you were building on a rock
 you find you've dug yourself a hole
 and you'll be facing such a futuristic shock
 when ground control slips away from you
 ground control slips away

 they're cutting up the world we know
 for reasons they're ashamed to show
 and all we love will have to go
 they're storming us without a war
 extending force until we fall
 while we lie back and take it all

 and everything our fathers made
 and everything they fought to save
 is trampled under this parade
 and nothing's going to stop them now
 their policy will know no bounds
 as soon as they control the ground

 under the flag of liberty you'll find [bad word] lurking
 it's our responsibility to keep the system working

 just when you thought that you were building on a rock
 you find you've dug yourself a hole
 and you'll be facing such a futuristic shock
 when ground control slips away from you
 ground control slips away.
