Grandmother's Footsteps Lyrics - New Model Army

Come with me my little innocents, there's a game that we can play 

See how much we can change your world while you look the other way 

Turn around as if to see if you can catch us cheat 

And all you'll find are shining presents laid down at your feet 

Take the bait, take the bait 

Television is flash and coke is nice and you can have the rest 

Dream those dreams you've always had of wealth and power and sex 

We'll run your mines, your factories and we'll take our little toll 

And you can have these missiles too while we maintain control 

Creeping, creeping footsteps around the world 

While they promise us everything we've ever wanted 

Hush now, don't you cry, don't you realize your crime? 

Like lambs go to the slaughterhouse, we know our rights from wrongs 

But we go down to the shopping mall with thirty silver coins 

And somewhere out in South America, where the forests lie in ruin 

They shout we'd better get these natives some clothes 

Because their videos are coming in soon
