Radio Dead Ones New Religion
there´s a woman with a ten thousand dollar
diamond chain around her neck
another one lives in the dirt
all her possessions in a plastic bag
the shopping center fascinates, attracts and supplies
the mommies check their shopping lists
and the pimps get their ice
it´s the ultimate advertising song
everybody sings along
even mommy sings it in the kitchen
consumption´s the new religion
the children on the schoolyard sing
it´s the only song they know
it´s about all the money in the world
they deal modesty a blow
the tv says
the radio says
the paper and the internet says
wasting money´s pleasure
the buy mania looks glamorous
