World for sale... slightly used
The indigenous ecosystems are slightly abused
But there’s an infrastructure for power
6 or 7 billion sentient souls strong
All shapes and sizes though they seldom get along
An excellent choice of slaves to build the landing tower
Final closeout - everything must go
Oceans and continents, deserts and mountain snow
There’s no serious offer I won’t consider
It’s a bit of a fixer upper, true
But I’m ready to talk business with you
Let’s get around the table and find the highest bidder
We’re not doing much with what we’ve got
We think we’re doing okay but we’re not
Any discerning customer can see the wasted potential
Call me at the office send a fax
I’ve got the appropriate documents sealed with wax
As you can imagine time and discretion are essential
You can read an explanation of the origin of these lyrics here
