Lyrics
We've got to find what we've got to find
We must discover what needs discovering
We've got to hide what we've got to hide
We must conceal what needs concealing
We're gonna shop 'til we drop
We plan to engage in extensive shopping
We're gonna shop 'til we drop
Reiteration of the intention to shop extensively
When the bargain bins full of useless things
Referring to bargain bins filled with items of little value
Turn, and bring this world down
Suggesting a desire to overturn or challenge the existing world order
We're gonna shop 'til we drop
Reiteration of the plan to shop extensively
We're gonna shop 'til we drop
-We've got to earn what we've got to earn
We need to acquire what requires earning
We've got to hurt what we've go to hurt
We need to cause harm to what requires hurting
We're gonna shop 'til we drop
Reiteration of the plan to shop extensively
We're gonna shop 'til we drop
-When the priests and the kings and the business men
Reference to religious figures, leaders, and businessmen ceasing collaboration
All stop holding hands
Describing a moment when unity among influential figures breaks
We're gonna shop 'til we drop
Reiteration of the plan to shop extensively
We're gonna shop 'til we drop
-When father Christmas and the Kray twins
Reference to unconventional figures (Father Christmas and Kray twins) rejecting societal norms
Burn all the wedding rings
Describing a symbolic act of defiance against traditional institutions
We're gonna shop 'til we drop
Reiteration of the plan to shop extensively
We're gonna shop 'til we drop
