A new producer and new direction are heralded with the recording of this song. A protest song of sorts that touches on world issues but at the same time drives along with a sense of fun and purpose.

lyrics

Seems its getting a little hot around here lately
Theres something in the air that takes my breath away
The rich are getting richer, sad satellite picture
Ain’t it a shame, theres just fashion and fame

Seems I might need to swallow a bitter pill
Two poles to freeze they need a soul to squeeze
Live in ethical squalor, burn us for a dollar
Theres gold in those trees, its an industrial disease

It might seem that you need to lend a hand
We all want to live in a better land
You can do this, you can try
Spread your wings and learn how to fly
sound the alarm, sound the alarm

Think I might need to cool down a little baby
There something in my soul that got ripped apart by the machine
I don't see the passion just suicide in fashion
You sold us the drama, left us trapped in the dream

Well I have got a little itch in my brain
Just a little scratch would take the pain away
Anarchy in motion, plastic in the ocean
Glued to the screen, listen like thieves

It might seem that you need to lend a hand
We all want to live in a better land
You can do this, you can survive
Spread your wings and learn how to not lie
sound the alarm, sound the alarm

The industrial revolution is all covered in rust
Rust never sleeps it just oxidises the trust
Sound the alarm, sound the alarm.
