Corpornation



Standardization Homogenization
Starbucks Walmart welcome to McNation
A million miles of cultural emptiness
Burns a cavernous hole in our collective soul
America where did you go
The Change it spreads like a disease
Infecting people places towns cities
Until with a Sonic Boom
It slams the Metropolis
Out of these ashes rises a
Megalopolis
Countless cubicles and dizzying skyscrapers
The beast is the symbol of the Black Dawn
The venture Capitalists the princes and pawns
New World Order Money is God
Investments and deals that we orbit around
That connect us their force of human gravity
That last remaining thread of human interaction
Is woven by the Almighty Dollar
Until we drift farther and farther apart
Lapsing into the depths of technology
Swallowing us whole
Will we still be human?
