Buy now, pay as you go,
|
Buy now, say hello.
|
You can put a mortgage on your life
|
To enter Shoppers' Paradise.
|
A trade-in for your dignity
|
A lovely colour console T.V.
|
To watch and cherish as the days slip by,
|
And dream of the things that money can buy .
|
|
Brushed chrome shit, plastic crap,
|
My life and my vision is worth more than that.
|
Plate glass ghetto, shopping spree,
|
I'm no fucking commodity.
|
Lusting for objects, white wall refrigerator.
|
Cut off your fingers and buy a vibrator.
|
Get them while it lasts, your time is running out.
|
It's a new mink coal, that's what life's all about.
|
|
A new tank, a new bomb, awaits you in the store.
|
Is life all that shallow that you're reaching out for more?
|
Start planning now for a family plot.
|
A satin-lined bunker where your corpses can rot.
|
Well there's nothing for sale here, no day-glo gore.
|
And I ain't no waxed-up showroom whore.
|
I don't need carrots in front of my eyes.
|
Man made pre-fab, polyester lies.
|
|
Or sexy glossy adverts left on my mat.
|
I live with my needs, I don't need that.
|
I don't need a yacht to take a cruise.
|
Don't need a telephone in the loo.
|
Won't barter my soul for a rip-joint sale.
|
Excess is just another nouveau jail.
|
Don't want to grow fat off the fat of the land,
|
Or to choke on the greed of public command.
|
|
Thirty years with one foot in the grave.
|
Possession junkie, consumer slave.
|
If money buys freedom it's already spent.
|
Your object's the subject of my contempt.
|
Buy now, pay as you go,
|
Buy now, say hello.
|
Bye bye,
|
Bye bye.
