Lyrics

[00:52.17] Baby thought she really needed that sofa
[00:57.91] Baby thought she really wanted that dress
[01:03.93] Baby thought she really had to have two cars
[01:10.00] Baby thought she really had to say yes
[01:14.77] But the more she possessed
[01:21.74] the more she'd slide into debt
[01:27.03] And the more she possessed
[01:33.34] the less she owned of herself
[01:39.83] Baby thought she really needed that hairstyle
[01:45.86] Baby thought she really had to say yes
[01:51.86] Baby really needed acres of carpets
[01:57.02] Thought she'd be happy if she had larger breasts
[02:03.85] Everbody said you can't live without them
[02:09.62] Everbody said you have to say yes
[02:15.54] So baby Spent her everything on this lifestyle
[02:20.70] But it's lifestyle that doesn't exist
[02:27.05] And the more she possessed
[02:33.30] the more she'd slide into debt
[02:39.06] And the more she possessed
[02:45.58] the less she owned of herself
[03:02.85] Yes the more we possess
[03:09.60] the more we are in debt
[03:14.76] And the more we possess
[03:21.62] the less we own of ourselves
