  • Fire in the hen house
    Protests in the deep south
    It's Shangri-La in reverse
    Time to call the wet nurse
    Markets on the rebound
    Riots in the ghost towns
    Dirty little secrets
    Always change and change and change

    [Chorus]
    Accelerate, must accelerate
    Hesitate, mustn't hesitate
    Calculate, must recalculate what we've got wrong
    Happens deep inside our bones

    Riders on the dust clouds
    Working for the rebound
    The casual acquaintance
    The dirty leaky basements
    They're calling on the reserves
    The famous
    The crafty shape-shifters
    Always change and change and change

    [Chorus]

    I see you change, see you change

    Accelerate, must accelerate
    Hesitate, mustn't hesitate
    Calculate, must recalculate
