Consumers, by their nature, consume without cessation
Brandishing their credit cards, no thought, no hesitation
Shopping channels, superstores, corporate conurbation
It's no wonder we get sucked in, by weapons of thought castration
Nobody knows anything about anything now
Individuals have become irrelevant somehow
Got your mortgage, your car loan, taxes til you’re long gone
A hundred bills that you can’t name, to keep you at the grindstone
Advertisers, in your head, convince that you need one
Of every single product, in debtocracy’s toxic prize fund
Nobody knows anything about anything now
Individuals have become irrelevant somehow
If I wasn't part of the problem I'd be righteously pissed off; I hate to say it but
I'm one of those poor unfortunate souls that I've been speaking of...
Nobody knows anything about anything now
Individuals have become irrelevant somehow
If you heed the media you'll be one with the crowd
Disengage brain, and just blindly follow round & round (& round & round)
