We are all prostitutes
Everyone has their price
We are all prostitutes
Everyone has their price
Everyone
And you too will learn to live the lie
And you too will learn to live the lie
And you too will learn to live the lie
Everyone has their price
Aggression
Competition
Ambition
Consumer fascism
Consumer fascism
We are all prostitutes
Everyone has their price
We are all prostitutes
Everyone has their price
Everyone
Capitalism is the most barbaric of all religions
Department stores are our new cathedrals
Department stores are our new cathedrals
Our cars are martyrs to the cause
Our cars are martyrs to the cause
Our children shall rise up against us
Our children shall rise up against us
Because
Because we are the ones to blame
Because we are the ones to blame
Because
Because
They will give us a new name, we shall be
Hypocrites, hypocrites, hypocrites
Hypocrites, hypocrites, hypocrites
