about

This is about rampant consumerism.

lyrics

Sixty grand a year, am I asking too much
I’m just trying to keep up with all the ex-hippie boomers
Money begets money and things beget consumption
And I’m just coughing up my fair share as a consumer
I belong to the cult of ADD
Initiated by MTV
If I don’t spend like a movie star the terrorists win
It’s been drummed into me since I was a Gap kid
I often think I was born in Pompeii
Cause I look killer in a toga
I get stroked by the Invisible Hand
In my Porsche doing sixty-five talking on my cell phone sipping Bonaqua
I get my knee jerk up when I see something obscene
On the page of a magazine
I dream of a world where nothing’s hid
Sex sells and is sold among the Gap kids
I thought hard to come up with something obscene
And left it on the machine
Hung up giggling, man I was feeling fine
Till I saw the number I just dialled was mine
I miss myself more than I thought I did
We haven’t spoken since I was a Gap kid
