Cursive - Consumers Lyrics

Cursive Lyrics

"Consumers"

There's an ad for the ache in your back
And a hack to perform the domestic chores in your life
I realize I've been hypnotized
A billboard sells the rich to the poor, all the stars we adore
We wish upon 'em every night

Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized

Saw a post for a new bar of soap, it'll cleanse you of sin
Your flesh and blood born again
I realize I've been hypnotized
Commercials selling hope to the world
Little boys, little girls holding hands across picket lines

Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized

Everything I see, I wanna buy
Happiness is in a grocery line
I saw the future in a matchbox car
I saw our future in the aisles of Walmart

There's an ad for the drum in your head
And the summoning dread that none of this is gonna survive
I realize I've been hypnotized
All the noise gets so hard to avoid
Think it's time we surmise, the consumer is never right

Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized

Everything I see, I wanna eat
Happiness is in the devouring
I saw the future in a heart attack
I saw our future, and I wanna go back

Saw an ad for a man with a match and a gasoline can
An immolation DIY
