SCHWARTZENEGGAR LYRICS

"Child Of The Times"

Slips into his tailored shirt,
hands tighten the tie.
Walks like he talks it, sipping white wine,
he'll be your best friend if you can buy his time.
Unblemished face that shows no emotion -
so cold
gives the profit margin total devotion,
hello greenbacks and goodbye soul.
One step removed from the world outside
yet seems to grasp so much,
eyes peering from behind mirrored shades
looking for something he can really touch.
Never feels the rain on his skin
never lets his feelings sing
can't comprehend a condition of love
but he'd invest if it paid enough.
Child of the times
walking the straight line
raised to perfection
to follow directions.
And with the gift of opportunity,
he smiles the smile of benevolent friend.
Makes your ideas commodities,
says "the means justify the ends"
says "we can market revolution,
service with a smile,
give the people what WE desire,
you've got to compromise if you want to survive."

Circulates the crowded room,
entertains opinions.
Risque talk on safe, safe subjects,
requires no conviction.
Conscience clean as ad mens' dreams,
parading lust.
Offers his attentions, just one chance, he says
"I'm somebody you can really trust."
Reels her in with the mark of his success,
his awkward hands
making waves on the pound of flesh
lacking passion he can't understand
You scratch his back, he'll stab yours,
written down in the holy clause,
can't comprehend a condition of love,
but he'd invest if it paid enough.
Child of the times
walking the straight line
raised to perfection
to follow directions.
With his money - made authority,
he smiles the smile of benevolent friend,
makes emotions commodities,
says "the means justify the ends"
says "we can market evolution,
service with a smile,
give the people what WE desire,
you've got to take what you want if you're gonna survive."
