lyrics

Walking through these aisles
Paying homage to the icons of excess
They read, "New and Improved!"
"Same Great Taste!", "Now More for Less!"

They say, "Look at how cheap!"
But never stop to think, just consume
Think not from whence it came
But focus on the savings brought to you

We're not so dense
To ignore our common sense

We are not powerless
We are not ignorant
Every choice we make, every dollar they take
Sends a message of what we'll support
So we won't invest, in the immoral practice
Of exploiting the third world, Not Us

It’s a commodified noose offered with a handshake and a friendly smile
A Faustian trade for skin so pure and a core so vile

They say, "Look at how cheap!"
But never stop to think, just consume
Think not from whence it came
But focus on the savings brought to you

We're not so dense
To ignore our common sense

We are not powerless
We are not ignorant
Every choice we make, every dollar they take
Sends a message of what we'll support
So we won't invest, in the immoral practice
Of exploiting the third world, Not Us

We're not so dense
To ignore our common sense

We are not powerless
We are not ignorant
Every choice we make, every dollar they take
Sends a message of what we'll support
So we won't invest, in the immoral practice
Of exploiting the third world, Not Us

We Scholars Dayton, Ohio

Two dudes writing songs.

Both of them like philosophy and punk rock and literature and the Reds and being accidentally pretentious by pretending to be pretentious. Brandon also has a fervent distaste for gilded-age mustache core. See Pitchfork for an example. ... more
