about

a song about the dangers of consumerism in our modern society... inspired by my 14 year old daughter who spends her time on the net looking at sneakers...

lyrics

we live through screens
designed and controlled
by faces never seen
to fill their hands with gold
they’ll sell your soul
and bury you beneath
the weight of your own greed
then sit and watch you bleed…

So hurry up, stand still,
Or slow down you fool,
just a cog
on a wheel you can’t see, you tool
take your time and open your eyes to see
but don’t forget to breathe,
don’t forget to breathe,
don’t forget to breathe.

Tickle and tease,
you’ve seen it on TV,
run, run, run
for things you’ll never need
one day you’ll wake up
tied up in a knot
by all the things you’ve bought,
you’ll find it hard to breathe…

So hurry up, stand still,
then slow down you fool,
just a link
on a chain you can’t see, you tool
break your bonds
and dare to be free, but please
don’t forget to breathe...
