If Hope Dies Shop Till You Drop Lyrics

Shop Till You Drop Lyrics

feed the machine

that eats up

our lives

churning out
product,

end result of time processed

then sold back to us,

and renamed convenience



left with the notion

of life as
commodity

hours converted to dollars

for the benefit of

private interest

coerced, to reduce our options

there is no
freedom

within this economy



working to buy

our time
saving devices

have we sacrificed

more in the name of
convenience

than we stand to gain?



eaten alive

our
blood greases the axles

of an engine that's out of control

this
defies our nature

we will take back

what our masters stole



they want you to live to work,

work until you die

marry
and reproduce,

more resource for them to exploit



forget what
they'd have you believe

our lives are not their playthings

we won't
be bought and sold
