What else is on in between ads for new cars
Around the dial coke ads by greasy pop stars
I can see right through your corporate face
Into your button-down mind
Sell your own children for five bucks in change
As long as your ratings are high

Electric Babylon 
Rattle On
Truth is gone
Drop a bomb

What else is on cops fighting crime on the street
We're in the car looking for someone to beat
Sailing the airwaves on ships made of cash
Dream pirates plan telecide
How you and when you and what you will see
Culture floats in on the tide

Electric Babylon 
Rattle On
Truth is gone
Drop a bomb

All the news that's fit for good little sheep
Gladiator games we cheer in our sleep
Evangelistic sit-com primetime repeat
We'll be right back right after this

(guitar solo)

What else is on flickering red green and blue
It's the home team doing what we always do
Set up some dictator sell him some guns
Play on his power and greed
When he won't play ball send in the marines
I'd rather watch EmpTV

Electric Babylon 
Rattle On
Truth is gone
Drop a bomb
