My name is not important, I've been sent to put an end To the wanking in the ranks of the disloyal opposition You've been heard to complain, you don't like your status quo And you haven't met your quota of spending, don't you know Your mission is to conform and to consume You're 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 Don't 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 life's got you down? We got pills for all your ills All you gotta do is buy a lifetime supply of magic potions You won't 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 You're not exempt, no you won't be forgotten Take it from me, we know how to push your buttons What you believe ain't subject to debate We'll let you know what to love and what to hate You'll be confused morning noon and night We'll keep your senses occupied till your lobotomized We'll 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 We'll bombard 'em with consumer goods until they finally surrender And learn to mend their frugal ways I know right now it may seem controversial But you'll 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 we'll do all the rest We'll pull the strings behind the scene And let you all believe that this is really just a dream Should you wake up, screaming "how'd this come about?" Just keep your mouth shut if you know a way out.
