[Intro]
Once, long ago, there was a time
In what now seems a distant land
Each small boutique
Was precious and unique
'Cause every little thing was made by hand
Then there came a revolution
The progress of production was its aim
Now instead of one, there are many
And each costs just a penny
But every single one is just the same
[Verse 1]
Now there's a
Starbucks on every bloody corner
McDonald's on everybody's street
There's White Castle, Wendy's, then Wal-Mart
And then it all repeats
If you're the kind that looks down on the masses
Even for you there's a feint
Get some New Rocks or a pair of Docs
Put 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 centuries
That in the name (What's in a name?)
Of human greed
The Industrial Revolution
Fixed everything for me
Once, long ago, there was a time
In what now seems a distant land
