|
My name is not important, I've been sent to put an end
|
To the wanking in the ranks of the disloyal opposition
|
You've been heard to complain, you don't like your status quo
|
And you haven't met your quota of spending, don't you know
|
Your mission is to conform and to consume
|
You're way behind now so get your ass started
|
Where would we be if we all did what we wanted?
|
The wheels of industry would grind up to a halt
|
Our factories in Mexico would surely feel the jolt
|
Run though the maze and get your piece of cheese
|
Don't come to us if you wind up on your knees
|
Deep down inside yes, you may be seething
|
But we want you good and tired, just barely breathing
|
|
Modern life's got you down? We got pills for all your ills
|
All you gotta do is buy a lifetime supply of magic potions
|
You won't know what to feel, what is fake and what is real
|
As they slowly take control of your mind and your emotions
|
Until you finally tow the line
|
You're not exempt, no you won't be forgotten
|
Take it from me, we know how to push your buttons
|
What you believe ain't subject to debate
|
We'll let you know what to love and what to hate
|
You'll be confused morning noon and night
|
We'll keep your senses occupied till your lobotomized
|
We'll entertain you till we drive you to drinking
|
Did you believe we want you to start thinking?
|
|
We are the global merchants we have beads for all your needs
|
To sell our way of life to the entire universe is our agenda
|
Those who try to resist we will be targets on our list
|
We'll bombard 'em with consumer goods until they finally surrender
|
And learn to mend their frugal ways
|
I know right now it may seem controversial
|
But you'll learn to love and live in the endless commercial
|
Leave everything to us, trust me, we know best
|
Just park the kids by the TV and we'll do all the rest
|
We'll pull the strings behind the scene
|
And let you all believe that this is really just a dream
|
Should you wake up, screaming "how'd this come about?"
|
Just keep your mouth shut if you know a way out.
