The Prison of Materialism
It's stitched into the sitcoms
It's sewn into the news
Twisted in the movies
It underwrites your views
It underwrites your views
Pumped in by the television
Reinforced in school
Seeps into your every hole,
But your nobody's fool?
It permeates and advocates
Corroborates we're separates
Venerates-our-physical-traits-while-vindicating-violent-states
Perpetuates subordinates
Implicates we're primates
Culminates in selfish hate
That enumerates & exterminates
Oh no, they're selling you a prison
Don't buy the lie of materialism
It's been cunningly conceived
And slyly concealed
Dripped into your consciousness
Now it has congealed
You're just purely physical
You're a piece of meat
Who cares if I beat you
Or emotionally mistreat you
Soul starvation, strangulation
Spiritual castration
Secularize-sexualise-glamourise-with-vacant-lies
Temptation and gratification
Physical adoration
Sedation of civilization
Societal transmogrification
Oh no, they're selling you a prison
Don't buy the lie of materialism
They're happy you're confused
They feed upon your fear
Suck up all your feelings
They're always very near
You're one of the little pawns
Putty in their hands
Moving in formation
As they whisper their commands
Preaching the dualities
Physical realities
With-distorted-moralities-for-limited-mentalities
Contorted tonalities
Temporal modalities
Separate nationalities
For global criminalities
Oh no, they're selling you a prison
Don't buy the lie of materialism
