It used to be that we were all confused
and easily amused by all these
beautiful illusions
Falling leaves misshapen trees
and gold at the end of the rainbow
icicles and lighting bolts
reflections off the lakes in fall
But we don't care anymore for those things
Just tell me what you want me to BUY
There used to be this eagerness in you
to understand the reasons and deduce a new solution
comprehend and calculate equations of the universe
microscopes and isotopes
creation of the ancient works
But we don't care anymore for those things
Just tell me what you want me to BUY
Oh, how your flashing banners captivate the eye
and your headlines promise vital life advice
But at the end its just an advert in disguise
and its telling me... its telling me
