Fatal Case of Consumerism

March 31, 2015  /  Jeremy LaCroix

I am a good consumer
I am bought and sold 
I've handed over my desires
I'm a Grade A consumer 
New products everyday
Promotion keeps us so excited 
When will we wake up
and realize that we can fight it?

I want to buy your products
influenced by advertisements 
I want to buy your products
"Hey, how much for the casket?" 
—WE CAN'T AFFORD IT!!

There's shit I need to buy
even though I can't afford it 
Charge it up on plastic
our priorities are distorted

All the time in my face with
so much useless information 
Designed to entice and  
separate the generations 
It's not about one for all 
for us it's all about one for one 
As advertisers continue
to rape our culture and our young 

I want to buy your products 
influenced by advertisements 
I want to buy your products
"Hey, how much for the casket?" 
—WE CAN'T AFFORD IT!!

There's shit I need to buy 
even though I can't afford it 
Charge it up on plastic 
our priorities are distorted
