| Mothers and sons, fathers and daughters you’re
|
| Praisin' the dollar just like it’s a goddess
|
| Now, process the thought you could say yo' it’s not us;
|
| We’re cautious so as not to get caught up on products
|
| Bull shit so full of McDonalds you need calonics
|
| No honest, they’ve got us just how they’ve got us so that we want it
|
| And will it stop? |
| No!
|
| Not since your self-strength went through the window
|
| It’s all money in the world on the ride
|
| With the, you and I gettin robbed by the?
|
| And everything you know and love is getting sold up (sold up)
|
| Sold out in the frenzy for the goldrush
|
| Look at the pop kings and queens
|
| Stop think and see that the tug of marketing beneath those hot pink caprees
|
| Got you talkin' and bein' like all the Hollywood phony shit
|
| Better watch what you’re preachin' now days not even only just that
|
| I need a pony it’s that
|
| I need a Nokia-teen-barbie phone with a monthly credit loan
|
| Because it’s family stuff
|
| And we love to be nice parents
|
| But you ought to know your daughter’s growin' up to be like Paris
|
| And they don’t care it’s in your homes or your own minds
|
| They got you when your born so it’s in your bones
|
| Like a kiddie-farm goldmine
|
| Generation so blind
|
| We don’t need to think, that’s the whole nine
|
| And you can hide, but they got million-dollar spin-doctors
|
| Workin' through the night to get a million out your thin pockets
|
| Got a bottom line, big profits, big willy wanna brainwash the world
|
| Gonna make a killing off it
|
| I remember being thirteen, diggin' in my moms purse
|
| Fiendin' to get the name brand shirts
|
| Jeans, and anything else I thought was cool
|
| Wanted to show off my shoes once I got to school
|
| To make the other kids jealous
|
| Tryin’a front like I bought 'em at Footlocker when I got 'em at Zeller’s
|
| But what the hell was I supposed to say man
|
| These girls’ll ignore you unless your clothes are name brand, shit
|
| But by the time I turned seventeen
|
| Realized that almost everything I thought was important had never been
|
| And a lot of what I taught was true just wasn’t
|
| So by then I rarely got to school
|
| Started seeing it’s a consumers world
|
| Perpetuating greed that consumers the world
|
| And everybody’s over obsessed with their possessions
|
| Getting loaded with debt
|
| Got us climbing out a hole till we’re old and decrepit |
