Merchandise
Resistance in Consumerism: Face to Face's Message
Lyrics
When we have nothing left to give
When we have exhausted all that we can give.
There will be no reason for us to live
At that point, life will lose its purpose or meaning.
But when we have nothing left to lose
But when we reach a state of having nothing left to lose.
You will have nothing left to use
Others won't have any leverage or power over us.
We owe you nothing
We don't owe anything to anyone.
You have no control
Others cannot exert influence or authority over us.
Merchandise keeps us in line
Consumer goods and products keep us in check or conforming.
Common sense says it's by design
Common sense suggests that this conformity is intentional.
What could a businessman ever want more
What more could a businessperson desire?
Than to have us sucking in his store
Having people mindlessly consuming in their establishment.
We owe you nothing
Similar to line 7, reiterating that no debts are owed to others.
You have no control
Reaffirming that external forces cannot control us.
You are not what you own
Our identity is not defined by the material possessions we have.
