Husker Du Newest Industry Lyrics

Newest Industry Lyrics

Been through mass destruction once, but once was not enough

Said we want a
second chance, and all they say is tough

A world where science went too
far, there's no way to survive

Why can't we get this thing straightened
out, i want to stay alive



They burned and bombed the east and
north and there's no place left to go

The sun belt's overcrowded, so
let's annex mexico

The peso's only worth a dime, but they've got all that
land

No need for a civil war, we know they'll understand, right?



Is that how you like it?



Factories left unattended, crumbling to
the ground

We tried to keep them running, but there's no more oil
around

We used it all to fight a war that neither side could win

Vietnam was little league compared to where we've been



Now we
live in caves and huts, and we don't have pay tv

And everyone is signing
up for the newest industry

Standard oil goes solar power, all try to make
a buck

So i'll sit around and smoke cigarettes, and i'll babble "what the
fuck?"
