Song lyrics

It's been a while since I've seen your face,
It's been a while since I've walked this place,
I see the monkeys riding on their bikes
Racing through the impossible night,
You say you're feeling like a new tree,
Man, they'll cut you from limb to limb,
Pick your pocket with such delight,
Shake it to the right, shake it in the light

Oh can't you see the glitter,
The glitter in their eyes,
Oh can't you see the glitter,
The glitter in their eyes

Genius stalking in new shoes,
Have you got WTO blues,
Dust of diamonds making you sneeze,
Kids on rollers ready for
Running through the junkyards,
Breezing through the halls,
Racing through the malls,
Walking through the walls,
They'll strip your mind just for fun
Quoth the raven Yum yum yum

Children children everywhere,
Selling souls for souvenirs,
They've been sold out like as not
Just for chunks of Angkor Wat

They'll trade you up,
Trade you down, your body a commodity,
Our sacred stage
Has been defaced, replaced to grace,
The marketplace Dow is jonesing
Аt the bit 42nd Disney Street,
Ragged hearts unraveling,
Look out, kids, the gleam, the gleam
All that glitters is not all that glitters,
Is not all that glitters
