If Hope Dies - Shop Till You Drop

Shop Till You Drop

feed the machine
that eats up
our lives
churning out product,
end result of time processed
then sold back to us,
and renamed convenience
left with the notion
of life as commodity
hours converted to dollars
for the benefit of
private interest
coerced, to reduce our options
there is no freedom
within this economy
working to buy
our time saving devices
have we sacrificed
more in the name of convenience
than we stand to gain?
eaten alive
our blood greases the axles
of an engine thats out of control
this defies our nature
we wi will take back
what our masters stole
they want you to li have to work,
work until you die
marry and reproduce,
more resource for them to exploit
forget what theyd have you believe
our lives are not their playthings
we wont be bought and sold
