about
Edited, arranged, and sampled from "The Network" (1976, written by Paddy Chayefsky, performed by Ned Beatty)
lyrics
The world is a business.
It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity, it is ecological balance
You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples
There are no nations, there are no peoples
There are no Russians, there are no Arabs
There are no third worlds, there is no West
There is only one holistic system of systems
One vast and immane, interwoven, interacting
Multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars
There is no America, there is no democracy
The world is a college of corporations
Those are the nations of the world today
We no longer live in a world of nations and Ideologies Mr. Beale
It is the international system of currency
which determines the totality of life on this planet
That is the natural order of things today
That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today
It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity, it is ecological balance
You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples
There are no nations, there are no peoples
There are no Russians, there are no Arabs
There are no third worlds, there is no West
There is only one holistic system of systems
One vast and immane, interwoven, interacting
Multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars
There is no America, there is no democracy
The world is a college of corporations
Those are the nations of the world today
We no longer live in a world of nations and Ideologies Mr. Beale
It is the international system of currency
which determines the totality of life on this planet
That is the natural order of things today
That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today
