Lyrics
The billboard model, facing traffic
The model on the billboard, facing traffic
Is telling you to smile
Encourages you to smile
You welcome the diversion
You appreciate the distraction
As you're waiting quite awhile
While waiting for a long time
Stewing in your c-class
Sitting in your c-class car
She's feeding you your breakfast
A metaphorical 'she' is providing your breakfast
She's giving you hope
Offering hope
But you know you're alone
Despite this, you feel a sense of loneliness
Swallow what you're given,
Advises to accept what is given
Conditioned
Conditioned to accept without questioning
They watch you for a living
People observe you as part of their profession
Conditioned
Continuation of being conditioned
The TV chatter
Television discussions provide solutions
Feeds you answers
Keeps you from confronting your true self
Hides you from yourself
Implies a sense of avoidance
I know you'll buy me
Assures that you'll buy into something
Once you try me
Once you experience it
I'm waiting on the shelf
It waits for you on the shelf
Glued on every surface
Attached to every available surface
Everything repurposed
Everything is reused or repurposed
You know it all ends
Recognition that everything comes to an end
Once everything's spent
Especially when resources are depleted
Swallow what you're given,
Reiteration to accept what is given
Conditioned
Continued conditioning
They watch you for a living
Being observed for a living is emphasized
Conditioned
Reiteration of the state of being conditioned
Swallow what you're given
Emphasis on accepting what is given
Nutrition
Specifically referred to as 'Nutrition'
They watch you for a living
Highlighting the constant observation in life
Nutrition
Reiteration of the importance of 'Nutrition'
Swallow what you're given
Repetition of the need to accept what is given
Nutrition
Emphasizes the term 'Nutrition'
They watch you for a living
Stresses the continuous observation for a living
Nutrition
Final emphasis on the concept of 'Nutrition'
