lyrics

Bred into the market
Handed false incentives
Force fed
Cheap commodities
And told
No one can live without them
You can't succeed
Without what they sell
Personality becomes nothing
When culture's a prison cell
Competition drives us to suicide
Children pacified by the same lies
We possess the ability to end it
Instead we glare at our unfulfilled lives
Why?
Consumerism is terrorism

From birth we are given the ultimatum, participate in capitalism or starve. Our entire lives are spent becoming familiarized with the market, the products, and we we are taught that consumption is the basic function to life.
It’s all done so that the consumer never feels happy with who they are or what they have. Every oppressive institution in America is fueled by capitalism, if there is an audience for it then it can exist, no matter how immoral it may be.
Competition may be what some call "choices" for the consumer, when in reality competition only widens the gap between social classes by forcing those that can't keep up to fade into poverty.
“Consumerism Is Terrorism” means that we are told our everyday lives aren’t good enough, that we need to continuously create and buy more. No matter what effects it has on the individual and the planet. Everyday we are overran with advertisements reminding us of our shortcomings and filling our heads with false aspirations, fooling us into thinking that material items can make our lives better. This is the act of terrorism, coming into our homes and telling us that our life is not complete without buying into what is continuously sold.
