in the beginning I must infiltrate
the ranks of the corporate elite
to associate myself with the filth
I have to play their war game
this well-oiled machine its gears are turning
ever finding the weak to use
grinding minds, growing pulp
to the foundations of corporations
This new war game
It exhilarates
It blows your mind
finding laws
hiding flaws
and so it starts
The last fortress of reason
has fallen years ago
who am I to question
how things are
in the beginning I must infiltrate
the ranks of the corporate elite
to associate myself with the filth
I have to play their war game
this well-oiled machine its gears are turning
ever finding the weak to use
grinding minds, growing pulp
to the foundations of corporations
checking through the archives
I have found the perfect candidate for me
a company so into the military
they don't even care where their ideas come from
The last fortress of honor
has fallen years ago
Who am I to change
how things are
in the beginning I must infiltrate
the ranks of the corporate elite
to associate myself with the filth
I have to play their war game
this well-oiled machine its gears are turning
ever finding the weak to use
grinding minds, growing pulp
to the foundations of corporations
They'll never know what hit them
to associate myself with the filth
I have to play their war game
