Satanic Surfers pulling the strings Lyrics

yet another big company gets away dodging taxes
and our elected government puts on the blindfold.
cause they know that if they're audited,
the firms will relocate abroad,
for lower costs and cheaper labor.
so i guess this says a lot about
who really pulls the strings
and who the puppets are.
in probably all industrial nations,
they're sitting behind the curtains,
invisibly in the background,
where most of us don't recognize them
and therefore can't resist their influence.

they force us to believe that these products are essential,
something we really need.
they sell us what we're told we need
and with smiles on our faces we rush out to buy,
thinking "this is life", "this is freedom of choice".

so i guess this says a lot about
who really pulls the strings
and who the puppets are.
in probably all industrial nations,
they're sitting behind the curtains,
invisibly in the background,
where most of us don't recognize them
and therefore can't resist their influence.

they don't erect monuments,
in the name of factory workers,
to the memory of those who die a little every morning
getting up at 4 o'clock
