Your house was built by knocking down somebody else's home for the wood 
Your iPhone was made and now it's sold where whole communities once stood 
But you only care about those things the TV says you should 
Cuz that's your world 
And every good consumer is also a consumer good 
Your house was built by knocking down somebody else's home for the wood 
Your TV was made and now it's sold where whole communities once stood 
But you only care about those things that Buzzfeed says you should 
Cuz that's our world 
And every good consumer is also a consumer good 
Now you're living that shelf life 

Is this a life or something else? 
Cold plastic heaven or sick flaccid hell? 
I'm still waiting on the same old results 
Kept my finger on that old bleeding pulse 
Where the trees long fell, and the magic dispelled
Now our manic fortune tells 
Of the impending shelf life 

Bubble wrap, waiting rooms, law enforcement, cable news 
Ballot boxes, storage space, clearance aisles, fire safes 
Economics, diplomacy, marital status, democracy 
Journalism, foreign trade, organic produce 
Band-Aids 

This is a whole bunch of stupid shit 
This is a whole bunch of stupid shit 
The wish to dismiss is far more intuitive than the credit we give 
And there is no true love when we don't so much live as we hold our love captive 
When you remember the violence required to sustain every operative 
Then you cannot forgive, you cannot forgive, you cannot forgive, you cannot forgive 

I am just a bystander in this new global nation 
But like every domestic casualty, I'm also a federal agent 

This is a whole bunch of stupid shit 
This is a whole bunch of stupid shit 
The wish to dismiss is far more intuitive than the credit we give 
This is a whole bunch of stupid shit 
This is a whole bunch of stupid shit 
The wish to dismiss is far more intuitive than the credit we give 

This is a whole bunch of stupid shit
