Tell me, what is progress?
How do you measure wealth?
When Dow Jones is reaching heaven
While the Third World's shot to hell
I heard it's for the common good
But all I fucking see
Is just a case of rampant dollar idolatry

C: You say you don't measure a man
by the size of his purse
So what other motives do you have
for raping the earth?

Investors must get interest
You say it's only fair
What about the destitutes
who don't hold any shares?
Behind words that has no meaning
You're tryin' to fuckin' hide
Exploiting workers ripping them of dignity and pride

C: You say you don't measure a man
by the size of his purse
So what other motives do you have
for raping the earth?

That's how they feed, that's how they feed
Upon homeless, starving human beings needs
That's how they breed, that's how they breed
Fornication in wastelands laid to rest by greed
