lyrics

When the worthless heir professed we all accept this ideal
A man stood up and said “I don’t.”

A young engineer, tall and slim had silenced the room
We feared him, for he stood like a man who knew he was right
His voice was clear and without any feeling.
“I will put an end to this, once and for all,” he said.

The heir asked “How?”

“I will stop the motor of the world.”

We never saw him again.
Years later, we did see
The lights going out
The conveyor belts turning still
The gates were closing
The roads growing empty
The great factories crumbling
And we began to ask about him

He had kept his word
He saw the truth we refused to know
He was the retribution, the avenger,
The man of justice we had defied

By what impossible power has he done this?
We looked for him and found no answers anywhere.
His spirit loomed in the dead gray fog descending all over the earth
He damned us and there was no escape from his verdict

He would stop the motor of the world
His name was John Galt
