Stakka Bo - Under Direction

{Verse 1}
Our little part of the world's become the scene
Of a formidable full-fledged super scheme
A masterplan to conform the frames
Clinically clean from cultural claims
Heterogeneity, to be homogeneitized
Diversification getting imperialized
Variety and difference to be compromised
The play is written- don't improvise

It's a bureaucratic challenge the wisemen say
To simplify business and to increase the trade
Money, goods and man moving freely
A pretty good idea, but is it that simple really?
A heart of concrete containing the norms
And all the guidance you need on how to fill out the forms
A shrine, impenetrable for all
Drawing up the lines on how to play ball
A well written script preceding the act
We need it all on paper to control the pact
So give your habits up and get into the cash-flow
And let us direct the show

{Chorus}
Do you want to play the game? (Under direction)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Under direction)
Improvise within the frame (Under direction)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Under direction)

{Verse 2}
Lights to the camera to the action
The papers here in front of you are just a tiny fraction
If you want a part on stage
You'll have to put a sign on the millionth page
Bibles just on trading, duck eggs over borders
So that anyone anywhere can have them for hors d'oeuvres
The paperless office turns into a paper life
We want to stay sharp, but we all know what dulls the knife

So now our little corner's the scene (the scene)
A zillion dollar baby growing to be mean
A non-cultural multi-national supermarket team
A not very lean fighting machine
So powers in the East and powers in the West
All be awake- the community is best
Never taking action when we realize
So once again we end up institutionalized

{Chorus}
Do you want to play the game? (Under direction)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Under direction)
Improvise within the frame (Under direction)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Under direction)
Do you want to play the game? (Under direction)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Under direction)
Improvise within the frame (Under direction)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Under direction)

{Chorus}
Do you want to play the game? (Under direction)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Under direction)
Improvise within the frame (Under direction)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Under direction)
Do you want to play the game? (Under direction)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Under direction)
Improvise within the frame (Under direction)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

{Outro}
Heterogeneity, to be homogeneitized (Do you-)
Diversification getting imperialized (Do you-)
Variety and difference to be compromised (Do you-)
The play is written- don't improvise (Do you-)
Don't improvise (Do you-)
Under direction (Do you-)
Under direction (Do you-)
(Do you-)
Under direction (Do you-)
