Material Takeover Songtext

von Thulsa Doom

They've trained us to work
So we can make money
So we can buy their stuff
But their stuff is so useless
We don't really need it
But they have us convinced that
We can't live without it

They're taking over - little by little
They're taking over - one by one
They're taking over - little by little
They're taking over - our time has come

We buy these machines
That tell us what to do
The radio, the TV
Have both brainwashed you
They're tools for the media
To tell us what to buy
The bigger the better
The more we must have it

America is full of greed
And full of things that we don't need
Each home is filled with useless stuff
Electronic gadgets that have no use
These things are garbage that we don't need
They just feed corporation greed
If you buy less then you work less
And a happier life you will then lead

The machines that we work for
Are running our lives
We take better care of them
Than we do our own child
We're slaves to these objects
That we've built ourselves
Cars and computers are
The pharaohs of the new age
