Sad Sack of Shit - Consumerismo

I wanted to buy locally but went to Walmart instead
Everyone in there looked like they were dead
I would go elsewhere, not act like a sheep
But their prices are too fucking cheap

I know their stores are ran on the backs of slaves
Making 3rd world countries look more like graves
The workers there are poor as shit
Where a day of work makes you 50 cents

We all watch as those bastards destroy the planet
Poisoning the oceans, fracking mountains for granite
The trees fall fast and grow real slow
They'll ruin the world, don't you know?

I can't believe these monsters are human
They'll kill us all
They'll be our fall
No way to stall
But I try to

Raise my fist, curse the government
Of course, I'm anti-establishment
Give myself labels, I'm an anarchist
But nothing's really being done
Even with this song now sung
Money still rules the world
And these forces we fight
Are so damn full of might
That I fear we'll never be free
To be free, oh to be free

But we go to work almost every day
Eating chemicals, that's not okay
Hierarchies in the big old city
Life just became pretty shitty

We spend money on shit we don't need
But we all want more, we're obsessed with greed
Working all the time just to make the means
You'll never live your fucking dreams

And your boss gets paid way more than you
Not appreciating all the work you do
They just sit on their ass
It's your fault for being middle class

You can enjoy life if you can afford not to work
I wish I was rich
Not have to be a bitch
Never sleep in a ditch
But at least I

Raise my fist, curse the government
Of course, I'm anti-establishment
Give myself labels, I'm an anarchist
But nothing's really being done
Even with this song now sung
Money still rules the world
And these forces we fight
Are so damn full of might
That I fear we'll never be free
To be free, oh to be free

Most the congressmen are in the one percent
It's an oligarchy, our establishment
You'll never be the president
For that to happen you gotta be rich

We can't stop them with protest, riot, or war
It just so happens their guns are bigger than ours
All empires days are numbered, eventually we'll smash it
But I fear this one's death will be the planet's

But that shit really bums me out
This is where I'll live, this is where I'll die
But I just really wanna cry cry cry
But I'm disappointed so all I do is sigh

The elite dictate all our fucking lives
There's only one way to live
Can't afford to give
Have to be combatative
But at least I

Raise my fist, curse the government
Of course, I'm anti-establishment
Give myself labels, I'm an anarchist
But nothing's really being done
Even with this song now sung
Money still rules the world
And these forces we fight
Are so damn full of might
That I fear we'll never be free
To be free, oh to be free

But at the end of the day what the fuck can I do?
We'll never be free, I know this is true
I'll graduate school, start work at Walmart
Lie to myself, say it's just a start
Wake up early, buy shit I don't need
I'm making money, I'm repressing my dreams
I'll end up living a sad shit life
Just waiting for the day I die
And when I do it'll be so cool
Never again act like a tool
But I'll be free just like I strived
It's just too bad I won't be alive
Oh no
