about

A commentary on marketing tactics wrapped up in a shimmery pop song.

lyrics

Compromises. Bargain prices.
Pay the cost to get what the hype is.
Yeah, you need this. Your uniqueness.
Gotta make a deal with your weakness.

So I’ll own more just to prove
That I’ve got much more to lose than you
Make a note. Count your coins.
Shiny new things to drown out the noise of

All the weight. Dust to dust.
And the fear you’re not good enough
God, look at this girl. Look at her smile.
Look at these things she wants you to buy
Is there more to this name?
More to our branding than marketing shame?
Well, it’s not easy to see

Roll up, roll up. Let me embed a
Story you’ll never forget a
Drip drip - drowning in debt now
You can’t buy your way out and
I heard you find it difficult to cope, well
Here buy this bottle full of hope and
Limited supply, short lived desire
You’ll be needing some mirrors for this smoke.

What a steal; let’s make a deal, I’ll
Keep you well if you keep to heel then
What a slogan. So well spoken
I’ll make the wound if you keep it open

You could have this life as well
If you buy these things that we’re trying to sell
Get the girl. Get the look.
Get the sinker, line and the hook.

To create, to destroy,
Insecurities to deploy
They’re out in full force - what you fear the most
Coming for you and celebrity endorsed, God
We are all more than they know
More than consumers putting on a show
Though it’s not easy to see

Roll up, roll up. Let me embed a
Story you’ll never forget a
Drip drip - drowning in debt now
You can’t buy your way out and
I heard you find it difficult to cope, well
Here buy this bottle full of hope and
Limited supply, short lived desire
You’ll be needing some mirrors for this smoke.

And I know that you want more than this
But as you worship, as you sacrifice
Your hard-earned time for what they have in store
Is there more?

Roll up, roll up. Let me embed a
Story you’ll never forget a
Drip drip - drowning in debt now
You can’t buy your way out and
I heard you find it difficult to cope, well
Here buy this bottle full of hope and
Limited supply, short lived desire
You’ll be needing some mirrors for this smoke.

Bloodied hands, regulation relaxes
Look the other way as the building collapses.
