Compelled to Consume

Compelled to consume, a need to satisfy the urge

Desire to meet, a translucent expectation

Hooked into the grid, a stream of never ending images

Convincing the world, the way they want us to all be

Breaking you down, with messages designed to feed into... Subonscious fears and insecurities

We got what you need to fill the never ending void

The hole in your soul that you're unable to avoid

Compelled to consume, driven to obey

Haunted by desire, staggering in dismay

Compelled to consume, driven to obey

Haunted by desire, staggering in dismay

Flashing images of perfection, something you can never achieve

Desperate emptiness burns inside of you

Searching, endless agony

Deaf, dumb, dead, and blind, years of reception have programmed your mind

Buying, selling, begging for time

Searching for happiness you cannot... buy

Succumb to daily pressures to meet the status quo

Resources exhausted

Plugged in, tuned out, turned on, switched off

We are your overseers, the unseen masters of every want – desire

Born, and then you die and in between you live the life of a lie

Thrown into a sea of discontent – left to drown

Compelled to consume, driven to obey

Haunted by desire, staggering in dismay

Compelled to consume, driven to obey

Haunted by desire, staggering in dismay
