New Model Army - Grandmother's Footsteps lyrics

there's a game that we can play

see how much we can change your world

while you look the other way

turn around as if to see

if you can catch us cheat

and all you'll find are shining presents

laid down at your feet...

take the bait..

take the bait..

take the bait..

Television is flash and Coke is nice

and you can have the rest

dream those dreams you've always had

of wealth and power and sex

we'll run your mines,your factories

and we'll take our little toll

and you can have these missiles too

while we maintain control.

Creeping,creeping footsteps around the world

around the world

while they promised us

everything we've ever wanted,ever wanted.

(*2)

Hush now,don't you cry (cry)

don't you realise your crime...

your crime...

your crime...

your crime...

your crime...

Like lambs go to the slaughterhouse

we know our rights from wrongs

and we go down to the shopping-mall

with 30 silver coins

and somewhere out in South America

where the forests lie in ruin

they shout - we'd better get these natives some clothes

because their videos are coming in soon...

Creeping,creeping footsteps
