In the Stream of Commerce

 No matter how many times we paint over these walls

 In the stream of commerce, we're afloat
 A thousand washed-up rockers crash these banks
 Oh, no
 ♪
 In the stream of commerce, we're afloat
 And unafraid to sail a sinking boat
 And honestly, my hand is on the plug
 It says here, right on my dotted line
 Haste creates waste
 Keep your eyes on the road
 You might be able to drive
 Now, you're so lucky to be alive
 Alive

 No matter how many times we paint over these walls
 In the stream of commerce, we're afloat
 Miles of red tape have choked us dead

 And everyone can't help but catch the cold
 Aaah
 All the writing on the wall shines through
 Aaah
 All the while we knew
 Haste creates waste
 Keep your eyes on the road
 You might be able to drive
 Now, you're so lucky to be alive
 No one to drive
