lyrics

The marketing people have turned
your willpower to dust
and you never never read
what’s written on the box
Cuz you’re too busy to notice
You’re eating up their lies
You worship the puppets
and their cardboard smiles

their cardboard smiles

Programmed obsolescence
the clock is ticking
whenever they want to
they’re gonna make you
come back to the store
and dance on the Song of the Market
that makes you buy more useless things
and dance and forget
and dance again
and smile
and dance and smile

You might feel disappointed
once in a while
you go to bed confused
and you don’t know the reason why
You go back to the store
just to buy a little more
trying to get rid of
that emptiness inside

Just like lambs
lambs at the slaughter
