Sitting in the back of Mr. Pewter’s car
Dark glass
Smooth ride
Leather seats
Minibar
Somebody’s voice in my ear
Moving across town to the new installation
With the new team
And the new goals
And the new framework for ethics and choice
“We make the change by being the change”π

I don’t understand the logic of what I do
But I do know that the people above me
Have made better decisions than I can ever make
I don’t pretend to comprehend the complexities of the system
It’s more complicated than someone like me could ever grasp
But I do know that the order things are put in matters a lot
And I know that just because two things are exactly the same it doesn’t mean that they are actually exactly the same

“We make the change by being the change”

Sitting in the back of Mr. Pewter’s car
Dark glass
Walnut trim
Stereo sound
Multi-screen
Rolling news in real-time
Moving across town in a new direction
With the new team
And the new gods
And the new framework for freedom and joy
“We make the change by being the change”

Who wants to be a millionaire?
Who wants a palace made of glass?
Who wants to separate the wheat from the chaff?
Who wants a whole new language?
Who wants electric bodies?
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants the view from the top?
Who wants the engines running?
Who wants to build the system?
Who wants all of the data?
Who wants their hand on the lever?
Who wants to own their future?

“We make the change by being the change”
