Sell It To You

I find myself staring at the shelf

With a hundred boxes and I need some help

They all look the same and each seem to claim

That they’re better than the other one

And on second thought I don’t

Need another answer to a phony problem

‘Cause everywhere I go, everything I see

Everything is sold to me

“It's made just for you”

Now I hope you don’t think that’s true

It's made from the man with the cash in hand

For you to buy into

And when it breaks

However long that may take

It won’t be long before the next comes along

And sell a new mistake

‘Cause if you want it then, they’ll sell it you

In a box so beautiful it blinds your point of view

Don’t buy it then, they’ll wrap it up again

Twice the price for bad advice

As long as you keep buyin'

It's not what you need

It's how you fuel the want you feed

Mr. Follow often holds the hands of Ms. Lead (mislead)

It's something new

Or becoming long overdue

Simon says it's not what it is man

It's how it's sold to you

‘Cause if you want it then, they’ll sell it you

In a box so beautiful it blinds your point of view

Don’t buy it then, they’ll wrap it up again

Twice the price for bad advice

As long as you keep buyin'

If you want it then, you're sold before you even know it begins

It doesn’t matter even
