The Industrial Revolution (And How It Ruined My Life)
Voltaire

Once, long ago there was a time in what now seems a distant landnEach small boutique was precious and uniquen'Cause every little thing was made by handnThen there came a revolutionnThe progress of production was its aimnNow instead of one, there were manynAnd each costs just a pennynBut every single one looks just the samennNow there's a Starbucks on every bloody cornernMcDonald's on everybody's streetnThere's a White Castle, Wendy's and WalmartnAnd then it all repeatsnIf you're th kind that looks down on the massesnEven for you there's a feintnGet some New Rocks or a pair of DocsnLook just like those who ain'tnn(Chorus)nAnd that is how (Tell us how)nIt came to be (How can it be?)nAfter two long centuriesnThat in the name (What's in a name?)nOf human greednThe industrial revolution fixed everything for men(Everyone) (For every bloody one)nIt came into our lives and gave us uniformity by taking choice away from you (and me) n(By taking choice away from you. Taking choice away from me. Taking choice away from you and me)nnAnd so now if one does will with a businessnThey open two more and then threenThey buy in bulk in big massive hulksnAt which points it's nearly freenAs they grow bigger their prices get lowernUntil they become a chainnThe smaller stores all shut their doors and buckle 'neath the strainnn(Chorus)nAnd that is how (Tell us how)nIt came to be (How can it be?)nAfter two long centuriesnThat in the name (What's in a name?)nOf human greednThe industrial revolution fixed everything for men(Everyone) (For every bloody one)nIt came into our lives and gave us uniformity by taking choice away from you (and me) n(By taking choice away from you. Taking choice away from me. Taking choice away from you and me)nnNow the machines are working tirelesslynThrough all night and daynMaking garbage in our imagenFor a world that's made our waynAnd they won't stop until every inchnFrom Peru to BombaynLooks like a mall in the US of A
