Consumer crazy
Marketing is all about selling us MORE, more than we need more than we want and more than is good for any of us.
These lyrics explore the insanity of the 'give me' culture and how it exploits and ruins us all.

Easy to get confused between want and need
Got to have it all got to have it now
High expectations nothing gone without
Want it in your hand you don’t care how
New phone, new bag, new jeans, no secondhand
Forget the payment overdue
Can’t live without the stuff they show to you
Everyone has one, maybe you need two
You got no thoughts about the price of goods
The cost of what you throw away
No focus on the mess you leave behind
Someone can face that on another day
You’re just a puppet in a crazy show
Use up the world throw it away
Big profit margins build on using you
They take their cut but we all pay
Earth stripped and spoiled beneath your feet
Can’t breath the air here anymore
Black water spilling out into the seas
Consumer crazy to the core.
Chorus
Got to have it, you know I need it, its all for me.
I’m worth it, I deserve it, I want it free
Just keep on selling me out 'cos I don't care
Who I am is measured by what you see
I've got to have more at any cost
Consumer crazy to the core
