Soft cell, hard trade
They'll steal the deal we made

Take to the sun and make it work by the hour
Talk like us 'til everyman turns sour

New improved, buy now
You can own the sacred cow

Recycled theme park dazzle me with fun
Gold mine garbage dump buy it by the ton

It's an exhibition, crucifiction,
An advertising dessicration

It licks away like the tide on a stone
It ticks away at you Genius of America

Break even, burn gas
Buried in waste right up to your ass

Turn a bottle to a bag on the ground
Get used to living in a cardboard town

A visionary luminary future's lookin' kinda scary

It licks away like the tide on a stone
It ticks away at you Genius of America

Quality, you mean quantity
Make it bigger, make it better
Spill it on the land
Spell it over, sell it over

It's a terrible thing to waste
