The Restless Consumer

Neil Young

Compositor: Neil Young

Tom: E

C#m
The people have heard the news
A
The people have spoken
C#m
You may not like what they said
A
But they weren't jokin'

C#m
Way out on the desert sands
A
Lies a desperate lover
C#m
They call her the "Queen of Oil"
A
So much to discover

C#m
Don't need no ad machine
Telling me what I need
A
Don't need no Madison Avenue War
C#m
Don't need no more boxes I can see covered in flags
A
But I can't see them on TV

C#m
Don't need no more lies
A
Don't need no more lies
C#m
Don't need no more lies
A
Don't need no more lies

The restless consumer flies
D                    C#m
Around the world each day
E             Ebm          D        C#m   
With such an appetite for taste and grace

People from around the world
Need someone to listen
We're starving and dying from our disease
We need your medicine
How do you pay for war
And leave us dyin' ?
When you could do so much more
You're not even tryin'

Don't need no TV ad
Tellin' me how sick I am
Don't want to know how many people are like me
Don't need no dizziness
Don't need no nausea
Don't need no side effects like diarrhea or sexual death

Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies

The restless comsumer lies
Asleep in her hotel
With such an appetite
For anything that sells

A hundred voices from a hundred lands
Need someone to listen
People are dying here and there
They don't see the world the way you do
There's no mission accomplished here
Just death to thousands

A hundred voices from a hundred lands
Cry out in unison

Don't need no terror squad
Don't want no damned Jihad
Blowin' themselves away in my hood
But we don't talk to them
So we don't learn from them
Hate don't negotiate with Good

Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies
Don't need no more lies

The restless comsumer flies
Around the world each day
With such an appetite for efficiency
And pace...

Don't need no more lies.
