We worship a crumbling edifice
In the golden age of excess
Try as we might to curb our consumption
We are allured by the next revolution
Commodities and consumption, tired tropes of revelation
You've heard this same speech again and again
Digesting
Innovative
Resplendent
Replacements
Media saturation of our failing nations
Clichés spat from the podium of idealism
Another cynic spouting truisms
The inevitable conclusion of our unchecked consumerism
Is our complete and total entanglement
On conditional systems of security
Ensuring our dependence to a failing structure of support
Generation by generation
Resources will diminish
Inflation suffocates us
We all drown in the rising costs
Zero fucking sum
Zero fucking sum
