Someone sells us Toys™ in a cheap cartoon | |
Someone sells us Cars™ in the latest Bond™ that's coming soon | |
Someone sells us Trends™ through a sitcom star | |
Someone sells Herself™ in a docu-soap that goes too far | |
Life™ on sale | |
Can someone please just tell me what happened? | |
I mean, first we paid for fast-food that will make us all fat and tired | |
So then we pay for elevators | |
So we won't have to climb the 3 stairs up to our apartments | |
Then we buy freaking StairMaster™ machines | |
So we can burn away while watching someone make real food on TV | |
Now if that doesn't make us winners, I don't know what will | |
I bet we would hang ourselves, if the world would just cut us a slack | |
And now you think maybe you should see a shrink | |
Help you feel alive again - yeah, that's a plan | |
Just tell us who to pay | |
Someone sells us Man™ in a White House™ speech | |
Then Woman™ tightly pressed | |
Between two bouncing breasts on a Baywatch™ beach | |
Someone sells us Us™ everywhere I turn | |
Then introducing Them™ | |
To earn stock-points on our concern | |
All for sale | |
All for sale | |
It's all for sale | |
All for sale | |
Welcome down to planet Earth™ | |
Please don't ask us what it's worth | |
You will notice that the world you found | |
Is slightly tattered and worn down | |
Someone sold us every stain | |
Now if you wish to complain | |
There's an open spot at 6 pm | |
It's when Caucasia is listening | |
If you're tearing down my world | |
Please just try to do it gently | |
If you're tearing down my world | |
Please just try to do it gently | |
There is love inside | |
For a dream that has to die | |
See, it's really all about time and choice: | |
The fast food saves us enough time to squeeze lunch in exactly when we want it | |
The elevators save us just a little more | |
The StairMaster™ let us choose exactly when to walk the stairs | |
Time is so important these days | |
It's becoming a ****ing disease | |
And I guess in a way it is | |
Since it's bound to kill us all in the end | |
Now with all the time and money we stashed away on others' expense | |
I can only assume that the tickets to hell are really expensive | |
And for some reason | |
It's important to be first in line | |
Someone sells us God™ in 2-for-1 with Shame™ | |
Someone sells us War™ | |
And the marketing, looks just the same | |
Someone sells us Fear™ on TV each day | |
A shape for every taste | |
If the flavour's right, we gladly pay | |
All on sale | |
All on sale | |
We're all on sale | |
All on sale | |
Welcome to the only Earth™ | |
Please enjoy your only birth | |
You will learn to take more than you give | |
Buying scars you must live with | |
Someone sold us every scar | |
They somehow made us what we are | |
We all long that spot at 6 pm | |
But no one is really listening | |
No no | |
Not anymore | |
We're all too busy | |
Buying Sex™ | |
Buying War™ | |
Oh | |
Buying Self Confidence™ | |
Security™ | |
Insurance Plans™ | |
Just buying More & More™ | |
As you're tearing down my world | |
Please just try to do it gently | |
(There's still love inside) | |
As you're tearing down our world | |
Please just try to do it gently | |
(There's still love inside for the dream that has to die) |
