Bastard Mastercard Lyrics & Chords By Seize The Day

LyricsView Chords

I was in a hole with just the dole to keep me in the black,
My letterbox was full of bills and I began to crack
I shouted at my TV and my TV anserwerd back
If you join the new world order son, there's nothing you will lack
They offered me that mastercard they called the golden gun
It's universal plastic, it's every card in one,
Spends your money for you then tells you what you've done.
And debits you a pound of flesh for evey hour of fun

So I aint gonna take that card, I aint gonna drop my guard
I aint gonna lose my right to choose although the times are hard
I aint gonna punch my profile in so they can tell me where I've been.
Aint gonna take that bastard mastercard

Oh have you seen that cash machine with electronic eyes,
It wont pay out for anyone it doesn't recognise
Gave it my indentity just for the mystery prize
Now I do not dare go anywhere without a good disguise.

So I aint gonna take that card, I aint gonna drop my guard
I aint gonna lose my right to choose although the times are hard
Dont wanna live no part of me in virtual reality
Aint gonna take that bastard mastercard

Did you hear about that silly car, now don't belive it's true,
It's gonna free humanity with all that it can do,
Just punch in all the data, it'll think your future through,
Till it gets so user frendly that it ends up using you.

So I aint gonna take that card, I aint gonna drop my guard
I aint gonna lose my right to choose although the times are hard
Won't put my soul in cyberspace for a toilet door that knows my face
Aint gonna take that bastard mastercard

Did you hear about that laser beam, the one that knows your car,
You tell it where you want to go, it tells 'em where you are,
With automatic debiting for every inch of tar
And an access code for every road or you aint gonna get that far!

So I aint gonna take that card, I aint gonna drop my guard
I aint gonna lose my right to choose although the times are hard
Won't give away my DNA to drive along no motorway
Aint gonna take that bastard mastercard

I called my money manager she said "you're in a fix"
We'll put you on our debit scheme it's called the "666"
It only takes a drop of blood, it's just a little prick
Then we can peep inside your genes and see what makes you tick

So I aint gonna take that card, I aint gonna drop my guard
I aint gonna lose my right to choose although the times are hard
No microchip will say that I have not the right to sell or buy.
Aint gonna take that bastard mastercard.

Did you hear about that master plan they called the master race
With an oh so easy barcode implanted in your face
You will only get one if you've got the dna
And you've got to stay in credit just to earn your living space

So I aint gonna take that card, I aint gonna drop my guard
I aint gonna lose my right to choose although the times are hard
No digital geneticist will even know that I exist
Aint gonna take that bastard mastercard.

Did ou hear about that man who said it couldn't happen here
Said DNA's the price i'll pay for living with no fear
Then when he got home he met his clone with a grin from ear to ear;
Yeah when he got home he met his clone with a grin from ear to ear
