Tell me, where does it go? All the money that we blow?
It never comes back round so it’s gone somewhere I know
Rich man or poor man, no man can make love nor money last
With little funds it’s easy to spend love too fast
All the riches of the world
All of the diamonds and the gold
All the stories we’re told
…Love can be bought and sold
Nuremburgian banners tell me to “spend or fail as a citizen”
When the prices are this low, who gives a fuck about ethical criticism
My humanity stripped down, to only what my loyalty card required
I killed a man with my bare hands, he was after the product I desired
All the riches of the world
All of the diamonds and the gold
All the stories we’re told
…Love can be bought and sold
Don’t sell it to people;
Sell people to it.
Only values that I’ve got left
Are what a carrier bag can fit
Everything’s for sale.
It’s open all night
Here at the supermarket
I buy some fascism lite
And then I saw her… her beauty so sacred amongst the profane
Others were killing for tat, she was an angel of the checkout lane
Her beauty brought hope, a life beyond these plastic lands
But she was looking through me at the products in my hands
All the riches of the world
All of the diamonds and the gold
All the stories we’re told
…Love can be bought (fade to end)
