Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's an ad for the ache in your back
And a hack to perform the domestic chores in your life
I realize I've been hypnotized
A billboard sells the rich to the poor, all the stars we adore
We wish upon 'em every night
[Refrain]
Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized
[Verse 2]
Saw a post for a new bar of soap, it'll cleanse you of sin
Your flesh and blood born again
I realize I've been hypnotized
Commercials selling hope to the world
Little boys, little girls holding hands across picket lines
[Refrain]
Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized
[Chorus]
Everything I see, I wanna buy
Happiness is in a grocery line
I saw the future in a matchbox car
I saw our future in the aisles of Walmart
[Verse 3]
There's an ad for the drum in your head
And the summoning dread that none of this is gonna survive
I realize I've been hypnotized
All the noise gets so hard to avoid
Think it's time we surmise, the consumer is never right
[Refrain]
Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized
Realize I've been hypnotized
[Chorus]
Everything I see, I wanna eat
Happiness is in the devouring
I saw the future in a heart attack
I saw our future, and I wanna go back
[Outro]
Saw an ad for a man with a match and a gasoline can
An immolation DIY
