Barcode Blindfold

Lyrics

Everyday, every minute, everywhere
 We are assailed by appeals to consumption
 Always the same song with a few variations:
 "You must buyyou must buy"
 You must buy a cage to trap the beast within
 You must buy revolvers to sleep well
 You must buy a house with bullet-proof doors
 You should even buy a fake wife to wax your floors
 You must buy this new car to go far
 You must buy that new pool to be cool
 (and soon you'll rent the sky to hang yourself with your tie or maybe slash your wrists with a loaded credit card)
 You need more and more shit to be wise
 You must buy more stuff to looks nice
 (And soon you'll need a psy 'cause you'll be wondering why your whole existence is so devoid of sense)
 (Chorus:)
 What you get ain't what you see
 Publicity deforms reality
 Use your fucking brain cells
 To get rid of the barcode blindfold
 What you get ain't what you see
 Don't shut your mouth, don't let it be
 It's now or never, the brainwash is over
 Take off the barcode blindfold
 They will turn garbage into gold,
 They will sell cosmetics for your soul,
 Instant pleasure and plastic love,
 They might even solve what can't be solved
 Top-one illusion for a limited time
 Packaged paradise and chap peace of mind
 Wake up and tear down the screen
 We're not living in a fucking dream.
 (chorus)
