{buying stuff, trying stuff, denying stuff
hiding stuff, riding stuff, igniting stuff
eating stuff, feeding stuff, reading stuff
needing stuff and needing stuff and needing stuff and needing stuff}

she prefers chasing chanel to changing the channels
channeling her churning desire for things in life she can handle
and unfortunately, those things are all virtual or material
in other words, fake; fulfillment neither mystic nor cryptic
it’s just artificialness that drives her internal motivations
whether it’s the aforementioned stuff or currency that brings sensation
to the ever-zealous mind that can be tricked countless times
across a lifetime to enjoy things that are man-made constructs
understanding this shallow fulfillment to me, seems not tough
along with being taught worth is dependent on her purse
she’s been told her whole life, sit still and look pretty
i can’t wrap my head around how this sh-t hits every city
all the big screens and signs tell us what we want to hear
because we base our lives around them out of constant fear
it’ll never be enough no matter how much beauty or items
i hate gender stereotypes, but this world likes em

{buying stuff, trying stuff, denying stuff
hiding stuff, riding stuff, igniting stuff
eating stuff, feeding stuff, reading stuff
needing stuff and needing stuff and needing stuff and needing stuff}

he spends his money how he pleases
often feels tempted to buy those brand-name pieces
pampered by his culture, he’s become hedonistic
constantly chasing what he wants and everybody sees it
and n-body can say anything to upset the patriarch
most guys feels that their confidence is their greatest part
so they ride that wave and their bills get paid
and they can’t say nay to a luxurious day
and the way i feel is ashamed to be male
no offense, my brothers, but you often fail
to see far past what you can do or buy
so all i ask is unglue your eyes
from all that you chase, all that you want
when the world says how high, you say jump
so instead of commanding, consider consoling
your desires often control thee

{buying stuff, trying stuff, denying stuff
hiding stuff, riding stuff, igniting stuff
eating stuff, feeding stuff, reading stuff
needing stuff and needing stuff and needing stuff and needing stuff}

we all long for the path of least resistance
so we consume the society that we live in
without pause, without question, without remorse
we often don’t take the time to consider another course
we just buy, buy, buy, and sell, sell, sell
but oh well! from lofty unknown heights, we may have fell
or we might fall, i mean, we are still high up
but as the prices rise, the lies keep seeming frighteningly up-front
who’s to say happiness isn’t 6.99
and the elixir that tricks us into happiness is buy
able. able to purchase many things, many are
many do just that daily such as suede cars
golden watermelons, pickled shoes
i mean, we buy things unreal, and it’s more than a few
i know we all have to buy a lot to survive
but i hope we don’t forget to praise the sky, or something about this life

{buying stuff, trying stuff, denying stuff
hiding stuff, riding stuff, igniting stuff
eating stuff, feeding stuff, reading stuff
needing stuff and needing stuff and needing stuff and needing stuff}

i don’t buy a ton but i buy a bit
i buy a bunch of goods, but they ain’t worth much
what good’s window shopping when all i want’s touch?
ipod nano’s and touch’s outdated
thousand dollar phones, like, apple, we made it
made it to the top, the producers and the sellers
instead of the meek misguided consumers
try to take a huge bite of what’s offered in this life
like, wow, that really makes my tooth hurt
condescending advertis-m-nts
i’m insulted, still gon buy it
nothing’s sacred, nothing’s quiet
humor, power, s-x, and violence
salesmanship, a once revered sk!ll
is basically flushed and forgotten
happiness is based advertising
so we spend and provoke a profit
don’t go and provoke a prophet
your ignorance and lost ways, son, they’ll stop it
rap music’s ads for life, you got it?
the void you feel? materials won’t block it
this life is yours if you like it or not, kid
so don’t go thinking you’re pure and society’s toxic
until you find a way to consume only what’s real
you won’t know how it feels to authentically feel
you can forfeit your money to people who don’t know your name
just to play their game
just to buy their meals
just to hire their lawyers who get the sweetest deals
who for power, greatly feel a strong attraction it seems
and as i contemplate our world, it feels like a dream…
but it’s as real as it is behind the scenes
so my consumerism angst yields nothing supreme
no matter what, i’ve got to be the one who all of my complacency feeds
i’ll just live what i know and buy what i’ve seen
i’ll just live what i know and buy what i’ve seen
