about

The easiest way to become happy for a while is to buy expensive crap nobody really needs. After a while, you need something new to impress your so-called friends. The way to find your rank in a society built on materialism.

lyrics

Hypnotisiert von Glaspalästen und leuchtenden Reklamen,
definieren sie sich durch Konsum und über Markennamen.
Anerkennung, Gier und Neid – Motive im Konsumwettstreit.
Von den Chefetagen der Konzerne an der kurzen Leine gehalten,
da Werbestrategien Gedanken formen und verwalten.
Gleichgeschaltet, kaufbereit – die Zombies der modernen Zeit.

EIN SPIELBALL IM WETTSTREIT KONKURRIERENDER KONZERNE
- KONSUM MACHT FREI
MEDIAL FREMDBESTIMMT RÜCKEN WAHRE WERTE IN DIE FERNE
- KONSUM MACHT FREI

Die Befriedigung ihrer Raffgier steigert das eigene Glücksgefühl,
reduziert zu Konsumenten, Opfer des ökonomischen Kalküls.
Shopping als Masturbation – inhaltslos und monoton.
Sie hetzen durch Einkaufszentren bis zum Ladenschluss,
suchend nach Glückseligkeit wie ein Junkie nach dem Schuss.
Triebgesteuert und wie im Rausch wird ohne Fragen eingekauft.

EIN SPIELBALL IM WETTSTREIT KONKURRIERENDER KONZERNE

MEDIAL FREMDBESTIMMT RÜCKEN WAHRE WERTE IN DIE FERNE
