They say jump, ya say how high
Where they tell you to buy you go
Spendin' with abandon, not carin
How it's taking its toll
You idolize
Turn blind eyes
And consume the very things
Consuming your body and soul
Afraid to learn the truth
Might find out something
Ya don't wanna know
All your hopes and dreams
Sitting with your pretty things on the shelf
Workin' for someone else
Trapped yourself in all the trappings of wealth
So you analyzed
And realized
And stopped investing in this business
Of fooling your senses and self
And the things
We pursue
Are so
Far removed
From the things
Kept from view
So we don't
Know what we do
Unread letters that you wrote
And tallies that didn't count your vote
Protests and rallies
No one goes cus nobody knows
They're too hypnotized
To organize
Would rather untie lies wrapped up
In pretty ribbons and bows
Oh we keep getting what we want
And then findin' out that we still don't got it
So we keep buying all the lies advertised
Each time we open up our wallets
And the things we pursue
Are so far removed
From the things
Kept from our view
So we don't
Know what we do
Big fat cars
And fancy boats
Snakeskin boots
And fur coats
These are the things
We want most
Cus these are the things
Shoved down our throats
New editions
Of phones and TVs
That we'll throw out
By the end of next week
Ah, these are the things
That bring us to our knees
Cus these are the things
That we see
Shameful mansions
On expensive estates
Private islands
On filthy oceans and lakes
Never givin
Just take take take
From the the things
We didn't create
Oh how they torture
And abuse
And we'll never see it
On the nightly news
So we don't
Know what we do
To get the things
We pursue
Are so, far removed
From the things, kept from view
So we don't
Know what we do
