'You gotta buy less stuff!'
Where do you think we’re going?
'Isn’t enough for you enough?'

Perhaps because our politicians
And the producers are in bed?
And the collective suicide of all
Never enters a single head?

Nothing of that, no nothing at all
But only growth, profits and jobs
And don’t forget the votes
No matter who’s life it robs

We’re headed for a product hell
As sure as **** is ****
With the politicians leading us
Into the heart of it

Cosumption, waste and growth
That’s all we ever hear
Create ever more goods and jobs
Get that economy in gear

And where will all this take us?
Where will it all end?
With the world going down the John
That’s a CERTAINTY my friend

Perfectly said. I agree very much. Ignorance is bliss and the blind will never see. Great job.
