Debtors' Prison

Welcome to an era
Where wants replace needs
A commercial chimera
We’re victims of our greed
Everyone’s a product
Freely bought and sold
Oblivious to this construct
We gladly do what we’re told
Just spend
Buy
Selling off my dignity
One day at a time
Just to get some money
For the things I want to buy
Designer advertisements
And corporate logos
A life of product placement
Ask me why: I don’t know
Just spend
Buy
Spend
Watch the banks continue to lend
Buy
Spend
We’re not happy, but we can pretend
The Revolution’s been bought and sold
Consumer greed is in control
As we let ourselves get pigeon holed
The banks keep track of what we owe
I don’t want to buy
I’m not going to buy
But we all know this posturing is a lie
Because I’m defined by what I own
My debtors’ prison is my home

交際
You know
How easily the desperate are made to buy
援助
交際
We know
There’s nothing to be gained by asking
Why do we trade away our lives for manufactured goods
The cult of the brand’s something I’ve never understood
援助
交際
You know
How easily the desperate are made to buy
援助
交際
We know
There’s nothing to be gained by asking
Why do we do this
Or why do we do that
The only thing that matters is the image of the brand

We know
There’s nothing to be gained by asking why

Lifestyle politics are indulgent
Bourgeois guilt over pedestrian dreams
Tedious conversations reveal the ignorant
Sanctimonious cunts, and elitist scenes
But it doesn’t matter which model you buy into
Just so long as you continue to buy
All that you’ve cherished will be co-opted, profaned, and thrown away
All consuming consumerism
Has made products of us all
Self-absorbed exhibitionism
Further incriminates the insufferable
But it doesn’t matter which model you buy into
Just so long as you continue to buy
All that you’ve worked for will be co-opted, profaned, and thrown away
We’re just as greedy as everyone else
We’re just as selfish as everyone else
We’re just as stupid as everyone else
We’re just as fucked as everyone else
But it doesn’t matter which model you buy into
Just so long as you continue to buy
All that you’ve loved will be co-opted, profaned, and fade away
