Consumerism. Hope promises to lift you up. Truth weighs you down.

TOYS
You see it in a store window
You see it in your mind’s eye
You see it at a friend’s house
You want it you don’t know why
And so the paradoxic conclusion to your ambition
To gather more profusion you will add to your collection
And I’ll look up to you and maybe wish I’d been like you
‘Cos at the end of the day
You’re the king of the hill
And what’ll I say?
Maybe I will
Say
The one with the most toys wins
You see it over and over
You see it in magazines
You don’t know which way the wind blows
You don’t know why you dream
And so the paradoxic………
How do I come to know you?
How do I come to see?
Stereotype your face value
Maybe you are much like me
I don’t know
I don’t know nothin’
I just feel incomplete
Why should you even listen?
You‘ve got the world at your feet
