Subliminal messages of the Rubik’s Cube,
The unhealthy addiction to YouTube,

Videogames absorb one’s mind,
More cash for more of your time,

Ads scream a false sublime,
Emptiness is all you’ll find.

Fashion trends live today,
Death by consumption is the only way,

Forget your troubles,
Buy some shoes,
Spend more money to cure your blues!

Television politicians share your pain,
Oil companies have much to gain.

Politics of the polls consensus,
Forget free thought and be pretentious,

Biased thoughts help one to lose,
Watch high-rated Fox News!

A country progresses on excessive fear,
The vision of humanity is unclear.

Self-discipline was forgotten in the past,
How much longer will procrastination last?

Eat at McDonald’s every day,
Cardiac arrest is on its way.

Become as beautiful as the teenage queen,
A false reality of magazines.

Public education is always suppressed,
Ignorance is very well dressed.

Obey magical, linguistic creatures,
The deceiving world hides its features,

Slaves of society follow a thoughtless time.
MySpace seeped into my unconscious mind.

I forgot to experience the moments of life,
I was very busy buying an infomercial knife,

My mind is injected with a dose of greed,
Buy, Buy, Buy! Need, Need, Need!
