Consumer's Lament
from Live from Connecticut by Steve Farthing
lyrics
New! a novelty... just bit more than necessity
But we’ll save!
A lifetime worth for a limited time
Don't delay, its the sale of the day now
Sensational, but simplified
Colorful, colossal and confidential
Just what you don’t have
It the things your living without
New and for you guaranteed
Discover those things
There proven, without a doubt
But you think you have enough
Nowhere to fit all this freaking stuff... well!
Move it down a shelf
Rack it, pack it, stack it, sort it
You'll make room
It's the stuff, you cant go without!
Just don't forget your warranty
God forbid anything happen to it, please,
theres fire, floods, things like thieves
You'll have it when you need it,
even though, you might not need it when you have it,
but its a must-have, that you only might need,
So you better go get it, because you can't live without it
But you think you have enough
Nowhere to fit all this freaking stuff... well!
Move it down a shelf
Rack it, pack it, stack it, sort it
You'll make room
Its the stuff, you cant go without!
Out with the old and in with the new,
you got 50 million things you don't know to do
Throw it out
Throw it out
Still in the box and practically new
Tt doesn't matter how long overdue
Throw it out
Just get it out
Walking on the stuff like your walking on water
It doesn't matter how, its miracle now
Lets get out
But we’ll save!
A lifetime worth for a limited time
Don't delay, its the sale of the day now
Sensational, but simplified
Colorful, colossal and confidential
Just what you don’t have
It the things your living without
New and for you guaranteed
Discover those things
There proven, without a doubt
But you think you have enough
Nowhere to fit all this freaking stuff... well!
Move it down a shelf
Rack it, pack it, stack it, sort it
You'll make room
It's the stuff, you cant go without!
Just don't forget your warranty
God forbid anything happen to it, please,
theres fire, floods, things like thieves
You'll have it when you need it,
even though, you might not need it when you have it,
but its a must-have, that you only might need,
So you better go get it, because you can't live without it
But you think you have enough
Nowhere to fit all this freaking stuff... well!
Move it down a shelf
Rack it, pack it, stack it, sort it
You'll make room
Its the stuff, you cant go without!
Out with the old and in with the new,
you got 50 million things you don't know to do
Throw it out
Throw it out
Still in the box and practically new
Tt doesn't matter how long overdue
Throw it out
Just get it out
Walking on the stuff like your walking on water
It doesn't matter how, its miracle now
Lets get out
