lyrics

We’re losing we’re losing, compulsory consuming,
It’s our way of, it’s just our way of,
Avoiding, destroying, what’s actually important,
More than products, we’re more than products.

Trading in assembling minds for assembly lines assembling,
Our demise I’m petrified, honestly it’s no surprise,
Suicide the global kind, virus violating the hive mind,
Advertise advertise, you too can create, truth from lies.

So free me, yeah free me, I want to think more clearly,
You’ve got a conscience, take that in solace,
Can’t buy me, meaning, or sell me discounted definition,
Self validation, exceeds obsession.

Get paid upgrade the chains that weigh you down each day that’s not insane,
Shackled feet, obsolete, don’t need a crystal ball to see,
Future’s paid by you you’ll see, sponsored by your tendencies,
Buy your way to your feelings, long live those slaved consumer kings.

Long live the slaved, consumer kings,
Owned by all their own owning,
Long live the slaved, consumer kings,
Owed by all, and everything.
Long live the slaved, consumer kings,
Long live the slaved, consumer kings,
Long live the slaved, consumer kings,
Owned by all, and everything.
