STEREOLAB
"Interlock"
(Tim Gane / Laetitia Sadier)

The desert is growing
The wars are threatening

Where's the place in your face?

Where's the place on your plate?
Consumorphic morality

Privatize, desensitize

Hey big fish in the lake
Hey all the small ones now "explain"
Hey big fish in the lake
Hey all the small ones now "explain"

Hey big fish in the lake

What good is all this knowledge we've acquired
In the face of deep realism
After this affront isn't what we choose
Regression into Spartan rule

What good is all this knowledge we've acquired
In the face of deep realism
After this affront isn't what we choose
Regression into Spartan rule
We can learn to respect each other
And nature govern "all it widest can"

We can learn to respect each other
And nature govern "all it widest can"

Where's the place in your face?
Such a dim conformity
Where's the place on your plate?
Consumorphic morality

The desert is growing
The wars are threatening

Hey big fish in the lake
