lyrics

We can be happy together when we are consuming together
Out with the old and in with the new
You won’t want to live without one of these
And remember everyone in the family needs one
So please, breed often that we may exhaust our productivity
All of us in the name of god
Consuming

Consume

I don’t care about the name of your first born child
As long as you make your replacement when it’s time to die
I’ll keep you fed with meaningless things to try and buy
Engineering massive debt to work you till you die

Through the airwaves I control I’m inside your home
Blasting images of things I’m telling you to own
Re-wiring your minds to feel unsatisfied
And watching helplessness rise up and swallow you alive
But trust in me your salvation is something you can buy

I’m gonna do this for as long as it takes
You’re gonna play my little game until you break
Designed for you to pay and for me to take
From birth to the grave it’s all part of the game

Stripping the earth to reap the fuel to feed this lie
Paying your government to turn a blind eye
Until the well is dry I’m getting mines
You’ll just have to wait in line

I bought a scientists to tell you that I’m right
And wrote a check to get the church to bless my fight
In this age of illusion I can sell it all
With xenophobic vitriol

You’re not equipped to live outside of my walls
I’ll stigmatize any of you who don’t play ball
So conform to me and enjoy the spoils
Of consuming more

Put your trust in me I’ll make sure you don’t think too hard
I’m on your side so it’s ok to slip the blind fold on
For your convenience I’ve created binary tribes
I’ve done the research and the math to market to both sides

Spinning the narratives and keeping the conflict high
Watching the profits grow while you're wasting all of your time
I’m always there to help you sign at the dotted-line
Laying the trap to make sure that all your money is mine
I let you pick your favorite color giving you a choice
And help you fit the shackles on to take away your voice

If you’re worried that your side is just a lie
You needn’t worry cause you're all on the same side
You’re the ones who work
And the ones who pay
And pay and pay to run the maze

My pharmaceuticals will dull your tired mind
Properly subdued and you will stay in line
Dancing to the beat
Greasing the machine
Doing the arm and leg routine

Raising your children while you’re lost inside the phone
Cranking the dials up to crush their tiny souls
Training them to hate the person in the mirror
Listen up and let me make it clearer

I make you with only a single job in mind
To consume more and feed my bottom line
Now get back out there and do the steps
And read the script repeat the lines

Consume
More
