Lyrics
Buy now, pay as you go,
Encouraging immediate consumption with deferred payment.
Buy now, say hello.
Suggesting a greeting associated with buying.
You can put a mortgage on your life
Metaphorically mortgaging one's life to access consumerism.
To enter Shoppers' Paradise.
Entering a consumerist paradise through materialism.
A trade-in for your dignity
Trading one's dignity for material possessions.
A lovely colour console T.V.
Describing a desirable but superficial item, like a color console T.V.
To watch and cherish as the days slip by,
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of life while indulging in consumerism.
And dream of the things that money can buy .
Yearning for materialistic dreams achievable with money.
Brushed chrome shit, plastic crap,
Disparaging cheap and worthless items made of inferior materials.
My life and my vision is worth more than that.
Asserting the value of personal life and vision over material possessions.
Plate glass ghetto, shopping spree,
Critiquing commercial areas resembling ghettos and advocating against consumerism.
I'm no fucking commodity.
Rejecting the commodification of oneself.
Lusting for objects, white wall refrigerator.
Expressing desire for material objects, like a white wall refrigerator.
Cut off your fingers and buy a vibrator.
Suggesting extreme actions to acquire consumer goods.
Get them while it lasts, your time is running out.
Urging quick acquisition of material possessions before time runs out.
It's a new mink coal, that's what life's all about.
Portraying life as a pursuit of new, luxurious commodities.
A new tank, a new bomb, awaits you in the store.
Highlighting the availability of destructive items in stores.
Is life all that shallow that you're reaching out for more?
Questioning the depth of life if one constantly seeks more material wealth.
Start planning now for a family plot.
Sarcastically suggesting planning for a family burial plot.
A satin-lined bunker where your corpses can rot.
Mocking the idea of a luxurious bunker for the dead.
Well there's nothing for sale here, no day-glo gore.
Denying the availability of grotesque items for sale.
And I ain't no waxed-up showroom whore.
Rejecting the role of a polished, showroom-like figure.
I don't need carrots in front of my eyes.
Refusing to be enticed by materialistic temptations.
Man made pre-fab, polyester lies.
Rejecting artificial, mass-produced lies.
Or sexy glossy adverts left on my mat.
Opposing the influence of glossy advertisements.
I live with my needs, I don't need that.
Living according to personal needs, rejecting unnecessary desires.
I don't need a yacht to take a cruise.
Dismissing the need for extravagant items like a yacht.
Don't need a telephone in the loo.
Rejecting the idea of luxury even in personal spaces like the toilet.
Won't barter my soul for a rip-joint sale.
Refusing to compromise one's integrity for a profitable sale.
Excess is just another nouveau jail.
Denouncing excess as a modern form of imprisonment.
Don't want to grow fat off the fat of the land,
Rejecting the idea of growing rich at the expense of others.
Or to choke on the greed of public command.
Objecting to societal greed and its influence.
Thirty years with one foot in the grave.
Reflecting on a life spent pursuing possessions, nearing the end.
Possession junkie, consumer slave.
Characterizing oneself as addicted to possession and enslaved by consumerism.
If money buys freedom it's already spent.
Questioning the concept of buying freedom with money.
Your object's the subject of my contempt.
Expressing disdain for the materialistic focus of others.
Buy now, pay as you go,
Repeating the theme of immediate buying with deferred payment.
Buy now, say hello.
Reiterating the greeting associated with buying.
Bye bye,
Concluding with a sarcastic farewell.
Bye bye.
Finalizing the sarcastic farewell.
