Corporate America
(Tom Scholz)

Who can stop de-evolution of the human race?
Look at you, Corporate America, you're in disgrace
Globalize; cigarettes, business jets, you love it
Maximize; but you can take your bottom line and shove it

Gotta get away (gotta get away)
Gotta get away, but I need a little help tonight
What 'ya gonna say (what 'ya gonna say)
What 'ya gonna say when you never even seen the light
See the light

Corporate America, look out, look out
Corporate America, who's gonna save us, who's gonna save us now?

You and I; DVDs, SUVs and cyberspace
Flying blind, virtual reality is in our face
This Earth desecrated by the human race
Now what's it worth? When do we evacuate to outer space?

Corporate America, look out, look out
Corporate America, who's gonna save us, who's gonna save us now?

I see the future in the past
Just took ebony porn the corner way too fast, the reckless ride of modern man
Flattened everything that stands
Fooled by the sales pitch for progress at a dizzy pace
We idolize the filthy rich for giving us synthetic taste
Computer calls, urban sprawl
Is the world a better place, is the world a better place?

Fare thee well, global extinction's forever
So what the hell, order your Mercedes in leather
Veal crates, ozone holes, and toxic waste
And don't count out religious hate
Who can survive this manmade fate?

Gotta get away
Gotta get away, and I need a little help tonight
What 'ya gonna say
Wha 'ya gonna say when you couldn't even see the light
See the light
Yeah

BOSTON's self-titled debut, released September, 1976, reigned for nearly two decades as the best-selling debut of all time. Boston reached #2 on the Billboard album chart and remained on the chart for 132 weeks, spinning off the hit single "More Than A Feeling". To date Boston has sold over 16 million copies and was among the first albums to be certified Diamond (sales exceeding 10 million units) by RIAA.

Their other albums, Don't Look Back, Third Stage, and Walk On were released between 1978 and 1994. Third Stage, released in 1986 on vinyl, was later the first CD ever to go gold; the hit song "Amanda" was a #1 single for 4 weeks. Total BOSTON album sales exceed 30 million worldwide.
