The Great Depression

Hello consumer
 I know you're there
 So let me sing you this new dose of lies we've carefully prepared
 Hello consumer
 Just close your eyes
 And listen close enough and this song might just save your fucking life
 We live in the Great Depression
 This is how we sell our lies
 I'm the poet and the problem
 I'm the blade and I'm the stitch
 We tell you it's okay to die
 To stop you giving in
 I'm the poet and the problem
 I'm the sickness and the cure
 We tell you what you wanna hear
 'Cause we're so insecure
 ('Cause we're so insecure)
 You think you know me
 When I feel down
 Another song's another reason I'll just
 Leave you here to drown
 Call me dishonest
 Call me a fraud
 But you've been saying that for years and that's what
 Got us where we are
 We live in the Great Depression
 This is how we sell our lies
 I'm the poet and the problem
 I'm the blade and I'm the stitch
 We tell you it's okay to die
 To stop you giving in
 I'm the poet and the problem
 I'm the sickness and the cure
 We tell you what you wanna hear
 'Cause we're so insecure
 'Cause we're so insecure

 I'm the poet and the problem
 I'm the blade and I'm the stitch
 We tell you it's okay to die
 'Cause we don't give a shit
 I'm the poet and the problem
 I'm the sickness and the cure
 We tell you what you wanna hear
 'Cause we're so insecure
