Product

By AbjectColloquialist

A gleaming soft face from the TV
Telling you what you want, you need, you FEEL.
Fills your mind, its all you see,
Ladies, you dont smell good, you need a facial peel.
You have become a product.

You can take our pill to make you feel right,
Just like everyone else
God Damn, you weigh over 120?
You sure must feel funny
Cuz' your heavier than everybody else
we have a pill for that
so you can be thin like everyone else
you have become a product

Wear my product, they always say
it'll take the last twenty years away
Is fifty bucks a small price to pay
to make you young like everybody else?
You have become a product

Scenesters! With your tight jeans and black t-shirt
You dont want to conform, just to show hurt
Listen to music thats not on the radio
And stop listening when they make it big
Theyve SOLD OUT you shout
Been bought out by the MAN
Youve sold out too!
The converse on your feet were made in China,
By the bid nike corporation,
Those underground EPs you listen to..
They where printed in Canada, by another big corporation,
So dont yell "Sell out" If you have already bought in.
You have become a product.

Hey men! Cock not as stiff as before?
We have a pill for that,
Now you can surely impress that whore
you can have a hard cock like Hasselhoff,
And experiance the joys of a baby at fifty
Youve become a product

Cant seem to focus?
Are you tired somtimes?
Get a little depressed once and a while?
We have a pill for that,
Now you can be a happy, intellectual superperson, just like everyone else
Youve become a product

You cant feel whole without buying in.
The simple and the poor are living in sin.
Turn off your TV and unplug your head.
To walk with the in-crowd is to walk with the dead,
There is but one product you cant find on any shelf
That rare commodity is, of course, yourself.
