The Prison of Materialism

VERSE
Fm
It's stitched into the sitcoms
It's sewn into the news
Bfm
Twisted in the movies
It underwrites your views

It underwrites your views
Fm
Pumped in by the television
Reinforced in school
Bfm
Seeps into your every hole, 
But your nobody's fool?
 
BRIDGE
Cm
It permeates and advocates
Corroborates we're separates
 
Bfm
Venerates-our-physical-traits-while-vindicating-violent-states
 
Cm
Perpetuates subordinates
Implicates we're primates
 
Culminates in selfish hate
That enumerates & exterminates
 
CHORUS
Bfm
Oh no, they’re selling you a prison
Cm
Don’t buy the lie of materialism

 
VERSE
It’s been cunningly conceived 
And slyly concealed
Dripped into your consciousness
Now it has congealed
 
You're just purely physical
You're a piece of meat
Who cares if I beat you
Or emotionally mistreat you
 
BRIDGE
Soul starvation, strangulation
Spiritual castration
 
Secularize-sexualise-glamourise-with-vacant-lies
Temptation and gratification
Physical adoration
 
Sedation of civilization
Societal transmogrification
 
CHORUS

 
VERSE
They're happy you're confused
They feed upon your fear
Suck up all your feelings
They’re always very near
 
You’re just a little pawn
Putty in their hands
Moving information
As they whisper their commands
 
BRIDGE
Preaching the dualities
Physical realities
 
With-distorted-moralities-for-limited-mentalities
 
Contorted tonalities
Temporal modalities
Separate nationalities
For global criminalities
CHORUS
