You are correct, the lyrics I posted are not what was added (just like the edit you did, I suspect). Some lyrics here seem to pull from an external source regardless of what you post so.......

Well, the mouth is open, and a noise comes out Ain't no reason for it, just a need to shout It's malnutrition, we could fall apart It's never delicate, just something from the iron age

We shake it up and we break it down The sound of a satellite saying, "Get me down" Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down Hear the voice of America in your home town

Well, the film is running till the film runs out There's no point of focus, it zooms in and out It's information and it leaves no mark It's just as permanent as painting in the iron age

I'm plugged in and loaded Don't forget to phone in The self-destruct is holding I'm counting, I'm counting, but only to three

We get it right sometimes We shine a light sometimes We see the fish below the ice sometimes Stand up and fight sometimes We get the fright sometimes How will we ever pay the price this time?

Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down The sound of a satellite saying, "Get me down" Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down It's east European, west European It's moving so fast it goes all the way round

Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down (Yeah, he's on a mission from god) (But he don't know whose and he don't know why) Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down (Says I'm not a light in the darkness) Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down (More like a shadow on the lungs) Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down (I'm balanced here on the edge of anger) (I'm standing here on an empty page) Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down (Sooner or later they'll start receiving) Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down (I've been standing here for days)

Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down Hear the voice of America in your home town Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down It's east European, west European It's moving so fast, it goes all the way round

We get it right sometimes We shine a light sometimes We see the fish below the ice sometimes Stand up and fight sometimes We get the fright sometimes How will we ever pay the price this time?

Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down The sound of a satellite saying, "Get me down" Yeah, we shake it up and we break it down It's east European, west European It's moving so fast, it goes all the way round

We get it right sometimes We shine a light sometimes We see the fish below the ice sometimes Stand up and fight sometimes We get the fright sometimes How will we ever pay the price this time?

We get it right sometimes We shine a light sometimes We see the fish below the ice sometimes Stand up and fight sometimes We get the fright sometimes How will we ever pay the price this time?

We get it right sometimes We shine a light sometimes We see the fish below the ice sometimes Stand up and fight sometimes We get the fright sometimes How will we ever pay the price this time?
