ENDLESS COMMERCIAL by JOHN KAY
My name is not important, Iâve been sent to put an end
To the wanking in the ranks of the disloyal opposition
Youâve been heard to complain, you donât like your status quo
And you havenât met your quota of spending, donât you know
Your mission is to conform and to consume
Youâre way behind now so get your ass started
Where would we be if we all did what we wanted?
The wheels of industry would grind up to a halt
Our factories in Mexico would surely feel the jolt
Run though the maze and get your piece of cheese
Donât come to us if you wind up on your knees
Deep down inside yes, you may be seething
But we want you good and tired, just barely breathing
Modern lifeâs got you down? We got pills for all your ills
All you gotta do is buy a lifetime supply of magic potions
You wonât know what to feel, what is fake and what is real
As they slowly take control of your mind and your emotions
Until you finally tow the line
Youâre not exempt, no you wonât be forgotten
Take it from me, we know how to push your buttons
What you believe ainât subject to debate
Weâll let you know what to love and what to hate
Youâll be confused morning noon and night
Weâll keep your senses occupied till your lobotomized
Weâll entertain you till we drive you to drinking
Did you believe we want you to start thinking?
We are the global merchants we have beads for all your needs
To sell our way of life to the entire universe is our agenda
Those who try to resist we will be targets on our list
Weâll bombard âem with consumer goods until they finally surrender
And learn to mend their frugal ways
I know right now it may seem controversial
But youâll learn to love and live in the endless commercial
Leave everything to us, trust me, we know best
Just park the kids by the TV and weâll do all the rest
Weâll pull the strings behind the scene
And let you all believe that this is really just a dream
Should you wake up, screaming âhowâd this come about?â
Just keep your mouth shut if you know a way out.
