Lyrics

Were hypnotized by advertisements We’ve become obsessed Spending our paychecks on the bullshit We easily regret We sacrifice to better lives But put ourselves in debt The fate of man is left untold when image is bought and sold Surround yourself with useless things supporting worthless greed The things you own end up owning you We scrimp and save on minimum wage It’s through conglomerates we’re enslaved Rent’s overdue our bills aren’t paid We’ve got to find a better way A better way to lead our lives instead of wasting precious time A better way to realize the shit you buy takes others lives Surround yourself with useless things supporting corporate greed The things you own end up owning you You’ll lease and loan your life away Well there’s a price you’ll have to pay Materialistic society Surround yourself with things you buy Your spoiled American lives The things you own end up owning you Johnnie V’s phone rang
