[Intro] [Sound of a cash register "Cha-ching"] [Upbeat, shiny synth melody starts] (Buy it. You need it. Now.) [Verse 1] A brand new day, a bargain in the cart To fill the hollow spaces of your heart One single click, the dopamine arrives The shiny bandage on our fractured lives We work for things we’ll never really need To impress people that we find boring indeed A life on credit, a soul in hock While we’re just watching the ticking clock [Chorus] Spinning around in the consumer loop Falling in line with the rest of the group Buy yourself happy, buy yourself free The next big trend is all you can see We’re just users, no humans left here Hearts getting empty while the registers cheer [Verse 2] The advert whispers: "You are not enough" But you can fix it with this brand new stuff A digital fraud that you play on yourself While the world falls apart on the bottom shelf A plastic hamster wheel, chrome and bright To keep you from seeing the lack of light Busy hunting for the perfect deal You forget how to touch what is actually real [Chorus] Spinning around in the consumer loop Falling in line with the rest of the group Buy yourself happy, buy yourself free The next big trend is all you can see We’re just users, no humans left here Hearts getting empty while the registers cheer [Instrumental Break] [Funky bass solo, rhythmic handclaps, synthetic "glossy" sound effects] [Verse 3] Do you own your things or do they own you? The glow of the screen is the only view They keep you on a leash with a coupon code While you’re carrying a heavy, useless load Stop the collecting, start to exist The catalog life is a fog and a mist The biggest steal that you’ll ever find Is leaving the mall and the loop behind [Bridge] [Beat drops out, rhythmic snapping] More... (More!) New... (New!) Faster... (Faster!) Are you happy now? [Beat kicks back in full force] [Instrumental Solo] [Electric guitar with wah-wah effect, upbeat and driving] [Outro] [Music stays upbeat but gets repetitive like a broken record] In the loop... In the loop... (Thank you for your purchase.) [Sudden cut to silence]
