Consumer lyrics

Song information

Artist: Focused
Album: The Hope That Lies Within

Lyrics

We're all living in selfishness
And not caring about other lives
We only want what we want
This greed right in front of our eyes
The view of our worth is out of control
We see it
And just keep taking
This world becomes more valuable than love

It haunts our world
And we cover our eyes
We buy our hearts content to fill a void
No, I will relent, and it won't go away, no it won't go away
This image you want, it will take your life and you will pay

Our society teaches consumption is the only thing
Get rich quick scheme
Take the goods while they're cheap
Dwelling in a material world
We drown ourselves in growth and purchase these lies
It's in our greed, our greed right in front of our eyes
The media pushes beauty and sex as acceptance
To wear a mask or a condom and fool yourself
Buying into this growth, we must kill the image
If this is how to be accepted than I will have no part
...Kill the image
