lyrics

Materialism kills, but people don’t seem to mind
It’s an urge that occurs in mankind
Craving all the things they can or can’t own
Feeling these compulsions to the bone
Drawn to another hit of drawing their credit card
With bills piling up which they seem to discard
An overkill of things they can or can’t own
Numbed by this addiction to the bone
Objection, affection, a new design collection
Fighting it all for perfection
Demure, couture, many cravings to endure
Just buy all to be sure

They keep telling their selves that they are doing fine
But it can be more related to doing time
Locked in this world of superficiality
Not wanting to own all is an abnormality

They think they can stop, but they never have enough
They always think they need something more
A habit to buy, shop until they die
I pity these discount whores
Doing time in a world of objects
Stricken by the beauty in the mall
A hole in their hands, these materialism fans
Wanting it all will be their downfall

Isn’t time enough for you to have
Do you think you need something else
To get rid of the void you’re feeling
You’ll probably resort to stealing

Stop lying to yourself by saying that you’re free
You’re nothing more than a wannabe
The only path to reconcile for this bloody habit
Is that you finally recognize that you truly have it
But live this excess life with me I truly do adore it
Giving in to vanity and please do not ignore it
Monsieur Plastique to be your guide in the land of money
Kill the cop, shop ‘till you drop and come with me my honey

You say that you're free
You're just a wannabe
You're doing fine? You're doing time!
You say that you're free
You're just a wannabe
But I do adore it
and I don't ignore it
Come with me
to the land of money
I'll guide you through it,
my honey
