FACE THE MUSIC - We are a society consumed with being consumers...just a little warning. IMPORTANT: Don't stream lofi, please. The vocals disappear due to super stereo mixing.
Story behind the song
I was thinking about the amgiguity of the phrase 'Buyer Beware.' Maybe what we need to most to guard against is our propensity to buy for it's own sake! One thinK lead to another...
Lyrics
Buyer Beware
Yeah, the wheel dont stop,
In the all night shop,
But what it costs to shop in there!
Buyer Beware!
Its a mall, all right!
Youll get mauled tonight?
And who will plug your bleak despair?
Buyer Beware!
They got your number,
On this plastic card,
But truth is still the bill of fare:
Buyer Beware!
Pardon my faith if I smile a lot,
Its not as if I didnt care!
In Vanity Fair!
You could shop till you drop,
Or you can come to a stop,
Until you stop youre stuck in there:
In Vanity Fair!
They got your number,
On this plastic card,
Truth on the bill of fare:
Buyer Beware!
It was $9.99 when I got on sale,
Then it sailed right away from me!
It was $6.66 when I reckoned the fix,
What it costs to buy us free!
Discounts for us, dont count for them,
They count themselves condemned.
But a freer coin, image not purloin'd,
Has its stamp upon all men.
