Of Loss Lyrics
Someone sells us Toys in
a cheap cartoon
someone sells us Cars in
the latest Bond
that’s coming soon
someone sells us Trends
through a sitcom star
someone sells Herself in
a docu-soap
that goes too far
Life on sale
can someone please just
tell me what happened?
I mean, first we pay for
fastfood that will make us all fat and tired
so then we pay for elevators
so we won’t have to climb
the three stairs up to our aparents
then we buy freakin’ StairMaster
machines
so we can burn away while
watching someone make real food on TV
now, if that doesn’t make
us winners I don’t know what will
I bet we would hang ourselves,
if the world would just cut us the slack
and now you think maybe
you should see a shrink
help you feel alive again
- yeah, that’s a plan
just tell us who to pay
someone sells us Man in
a White House speech
then Woman tightly pressed
between two bouncing breasts
on a Baywatch beach
someone sells us Us everywhere
I turn
then introducing Them
to earn stock points on
our concern
all for sale
it’s all for sale...
welcome down to planet Earth
please don’t ask us what
it’s worth
you will notice that the
world you found
is slightly tattered and
worn down
someone sold us every stain
now if you wish to complain
there’s an open spot at
6 pm
that’s when Caucasia is
listening
if you’re tearing down my
world
please just try to do it
gently...
there is love inside
for a dream that has to
die
see, it’s really all about
time and choice:
the fastfood saves us enough
time to squeeze lunch in exactly when we want it
the elevators save us just
a little more
and the StairMaster lets
us choose exactly when to walk the stairs
time is so important these
days
it’s becoming a fucking
disease
and I guess in a way it
is
since it is bound to kill
us all in the end
now with all the time and
money we stash away on others’ expense
I can only assume that the
tickets to hell are really expensive
and for some reason
it’s important to be first
in line
someone sells us God in
2-for-1 with Shame
someone sells us War
and the marketing looks
just the same
someone sells us Fear on
TV each day
a shape for every taste
if the flavor’s right we
gladly pay
all on sale
we’re all on sale...
welcome to the only Earth
please enjoy your only birth
you will learn to take more
than you give
buying scars we must live
with
someone sold us every scar
they somehow made us what
we are
we all want that spot at
6 pm
but no one is really listening
no
not anymore
we’re all too busy
buying Sex
buying War
oh
buying Self Confidence
Security
Insurance Plans
just buying More & More
as you’re tearing down my
world
please just try to do it
gently...
(there’s still love inside
for the dream that had to die)
as you’re tearing down our
world.
