So, you've been feeling kinda down in the dumps
So, take a lesson from the ones who evidently got the jump
On this surly game of life
You've got exorcise your inhibitions
Don's shy away from exhibition
You better do what you can do to win
You gotta buy something
It doesn't matter if your funds are low
You've got a duty to yourself
And everyone you know
There's obligations in this life
You've got to suck it up and sacrifice
I shouldn't have to say it twice
You know if you're a solid citizen
You're gonna buy something
You shouldn't worry if you're feeling poor
Because the president's got the free money
But if you've got more, he'll get you more
Because the president's got the free money
If you're a thief or you're a whore
Don't miss your chance at cheap redemption
Just taste the fruits of pure invention
So, while you're waiting for the president's call
You could be thinking 'bout the ones
Who set him up there standing tall?
Like the perfect wind up wife
Gonna give it up just to do their will
Get the population to take their pill
And work that sneaky schoolboy grin
Get you to buy something
So, you don't waste another minute
You're gonna buy something
