Sweatshop Union - Goldrush lyrics
[Sweatshop Union - Goldrush lyrics]
Mothers and sons
Fathers and daughters you're
Praisin' the dollar just like it's a goddess
Now, process the thought you could
Say yo' it's not us
We're cautious so as not to
Get caught up on products
Bull shit so full of
McDonalds you need calonics no honest
They've got us just how they've got
Us so that we want it and will it stop? No!
Not since your self-strength went
Through the window
It's all money in the world on the ride
With the, you and I gettin robbed by the?
And everything you know and love
Is getting sold up (sold up)
Sold out in the frenzy for the goldrush
Look at the pop kings and queens
Stop think and see that the tug of
Marketing beneath those hot pink caprees
Got you talkin' and bein' like
All the Hollywood phony shit
Better watch what you're preachin' now days
Not even only just that
I need a pony it's that
I need a Nokia-teen Barbie phone
With a monthly credit loan
Because it's family stuff
And we love to be nice parents
But, you ought to know your daughter's
Growin' up to be like Paris
And they don't care it's in your
Homes or your own minds
They got you when your born
So, it's in your bones
Like a kiddie-farm goldmine
Generation so blind
We don't need to think, that's the whole nine
And you can hide
But they got million dollar spin doctors
Workin' through the night to get a
Million out your thin pockets
Got a bottom line, big profit's
Big willy wanna brainwash the world
Gonna make a killing off it
I remember being thirteen
Diggin' in my moms purse
Fiendin' to get the name brand shirts
Jeans, and anything else I thought was cool
Wanted to show off my shoes
Once I got to school
To make the other kids jealous
Tryin'a front like I bought 'em at Footlocker
When I got 'em at Zeller's
But what the hell was I supposed to say man
These girls'll ignore you unless your
Clothes are name brand, shit
But by the time I turned seventeen
Realized that almost everything I thought
Was important had never been
And a lot of what I
Taught was true just wasn't
So by then I rarely got to school
Started seeing it's a consumers world
Perpetuating greed that consumers the world
And everybody's over obsessed
With their possessions
Getting loaded with debt
Got us climbing out a hole
Till we're old and decrepit
Fathers and daughters you're
Praisin' the dollar just like it's a goddess
Now, process the thought you could
Say yo' it's not us
We're cautious so as not to
Get caught up on products
Bull shit so full of
McDonalds you need calonics no honest
They've got us just how they've got
Us so that we want it and will it stop? No!
Not since your self-strength went
Through the window
It's all money in the world on the ride
With the, you and I gettin robbed by the?
And everything you know and love

Sold out in the frenzy for the goldrush
Look at the pop kings and queens
