Lauryn Hill - Consumerism lyrics

Consumerism running through them like
A tumor in 'em
Ageism, sexism, racism, chauvinism
Capitalism running through them like
The rumour business
Separatism, skepticism, modernism, atheism
Television running through them
Like an organism
Mechanism, despotism, poisoning the ecosystem
Satanism running through them
Like a politician
Hedonism, hypocrism, nihilism, narcissism
Egotism running through them
Need an exorcism
Situation, heathenism, adversary demonism
To fix forms of religious
Spontaneity's a bad decision
Catholicism, Darwinism, barbarism, formalism
European fetishisms
Terrorism running through them
On their television


Exploitative be the saviour to
Correct the system paranoia
Skepticism, schizophrenic, masochism
Escapism running through them need a sedative
Medication, complication
Devastation negative
I say devastation negative
Modernism has created modern prisons
Neo-McCarthyisms, new colonialisms
Pessimism mess they is in
Hoodooism, hypnotism, egoism
Realism, humanism, legalism
Mysticism makes decisions from a purer prism
Magnetism, pragmatism, altruism, pacifism
Idealism
Actualism, rehabilitation-ism, ostracism
Skepticism small fish ball for recognition
Oppressor and oppres condition
Sex, addiction, next suspicion, vexed
Conflict and secularism
See, people need to villainize to
Offset disdain for their lives
Ugly human, ugly shame
Corporate greed in Jesus' name
Anarchism, self-delusions
Victims leave with no solutions
Impositions, superstitions
Violence and contradictions
False pretense and no convictions
Compromised commercialism
I said compromised commercialism
Worth and vision, work for wisdom
Full electromagnetism
Who comes first is first position
Rap's been missing you've been listening
Watch the empress bless the system
Paganism, false religion, plagiarism
Broken system euphemism unforgiven
Inhibition, prohibition, disconnection
Broken wisdom
Broken cistern can't hold wisdom
This town needs an exorcism
Egotism, egotism, egotism, egotism
Egotism, egotism, egotism, egotism
Alcoholism, fascism, rationalism
National tension
Journalism gone gestapoism poporazzo-ism
As the world turns in isms
Trust eroticism, social drugs
Narcotics in them
Cult existence, superstition
Ritual materialisms, serial isms
Habitual inferior vision consumerism

He is, he is set to, set to
Self-destruct, self-destruct he is, he is
Too cool, too cool to be true

Listen consumerism running through them like
A tumor in 'em
Separatism, skepticism, desperation, nepotism
Capitalism running through the
Montezuma in em
Ageism, sexism, racism, fascism
Television running through 'em
Like an organism
Hedonism, egoism, systematic narcissism
To empty religious spontaneity is anarchism
Social Darwinism, barbarism, modern paganism
Major schizism, division, ethnoplagiarism
Selfish business decision
Greedy reductionism
Obstruction of the justice
Occupation victimizationism
Brainwashing, mind control
Synthetic stimulation in them
Time control mutilating the soul
For a business decision
Help the people cope sell 'em
Dope from a new trope synthetic hope
Life spent walking on a tightrope
Infantile masturbation, juvenile
No education mental castration
A generation forced to labor for a nation
Lock the means production down
Price reduction down
Inflation and corruption need
The medication now!
They need the medication now!
Corporate production in a state
Of mass combustion
Greed and lust and dangerous repercussions
To escape the rupture they speak of rapture
While still going after the
Things they spiritually capture
Distaster faster and faster and faster
Terrorism running through them
On their television
Phony nationalism, dishpan Africanism
Material hypnotisms, monopoly
Militarist devi-isms, sadomasochisms
Intellectual fetishisms sold on
Computers and televisions
Exploitative need a saviour to
Correct the system
Paranoia skepticism, schizophrenic mechanisms
Escapism running through them need a sedative
Medication, complication, situation negative
Modernism has created modern prisons
Neo-McCarthyisms, new colonialisms
Pessimism makes decisions, hoodooism
Hypnotism
Egoism, realism, humanism, legalism
Small fish ball for recognition
Oppressor and oppressed condition
Sex, addiction, vexed conflict and anarchism
Self-delusions, victims leave with
No solutions
Impositions, superstitions, brutism
Contradictions
False pretense and no convictions
Compromised commercialism, recognition
Any decisions from a pure prism
Magnetism, pragmatism, altruism, actionism
Activism, pacifism, rehabilitation-ism
No false sensationalism
Aped assimilation in 'em
Corporate cannibalism
Psychological limitations in 'em
No imitations, competition, gross assumption
Parasitism, negative stimulation in 'em
Consumerism

He is, he is set to, set to
Self-destruct, self-destruct he is, he is
Too cool, too cool to be true
