lyrics

Step right up, there's nothing to fear
Bring your money over here
It's cool, it's hip, it's all the rage
It will keep you in our cage
We're the ones no one can stop
We're the powers at the top
We will tell you what you need
In your brains we'll plant the seed

Modern culture dictated by children
Out of the mouths of babes so fashion goes
Media will scramble for your attention
Corporations watch their profits grow

Profit margins are our claim to fame
Selling snake oil is our game
You don't really need the crap
But you fell for our clever rap
Work all day and sleep all night
Easy to keep you in our sight
If you don't keep buying stuff
Your existence ain't worth enough

Better stick to buying pricey new things
Or what will all your friends and neighbors say
Second hand is for the lower classes
In our grips you know you're doomed to

STAY!
