It’s a consumer’s market these days, they say
Choice, choice, choice!
And the best bargains on the most
Unwanted things
Mundane… I wanna buy it!
Different… I wanna have it!
And why not?
Buy one, get one free
Evil games…
but “No, we’re not playing with money!”
Buy a shirt, the personality is free
Here’s dark chocolate, comfort for free
Buy plastic, lots of pollution, all free
Buy an opinion, debate free
Let’s buy votes; power and perks – free!
“I’m buying some more friends ‘cause ‘Belonging’ seems free”
Get a tattoo, free second looks
Purchase insurance, health is free, really.
Let’s buy land, headaches free
unless you’re buying lots of it –
then you get status for free.
You can buy ignorance, bliss really does come free.
If you buy intelligence, fake labels are free
(if you’re lucky, the realization that it actually needs
another kind of currency – you May get that free)
“Hey, my soul’s up for sale, conscience free!”
(and if you buy lines like that,
pretend-laughter comes free, see)
Buy a flag, patriotism is free
Let’s buy up all the wars --- world domination and oil is free!
Buy an identity card, (“it will take a little extra, thank you”)
Reservation for free;
Maybe.
Buy Religion, Hate comes free
Let’s buy language, Suppression is free,
Guarantee.
I’m buying stereotypes, ‘cause I really want some free laughs
Buy celebrity status, you get free masks
I wanna buy Freedom, so I can get Control for free
I wanna buy some Spirituality, so I can get Peace for free.
Hmmm, how do I get free Happiness?
Oh, I’ll go on a buying spree!
It’s also stress-relieving therapy…
What are you buying into?
Choice, choice, choice!
Take your pick, it’s all manufactured
mechanically
Assembly-line production, we assure you
(so everyone gets the same quality)
Buy the factory-system, Equality free?
Take your pick, it’s all available
What would you like today?
A new face?
A new image?
What would you like to buy today ---
Love, Family, Respect, Identity, Authority,
Happiness, Wisdom?
Men? Women? Leaders?
They’re on sale too.
Just put the money on the table
(or under it)
And it’s all yours
Plus, trash for free!
What are you buying into?
and when are you
Selling out?
