Lyrics

Now the mirror's in the supermarket
And they're even in the toilet
The eyes affixed on future eating
Packages avoid their greeting
Shift and stare in strangled fleeting
Glimpses of a life retreating
Onto shelves to be a part of human process
Now I'm just a product on a shelf
Saves me having to try to be myself
It's the art of mass consumption
Eve devoured her self-respect
Plunge your feet upon assumption
And watch the adverts do the rest
No goods are anything but sold
And sold dictates the loss
Bottled up we sit reflecting life's expensive
Now I'm just a product on a shelf
Saves me having to try to be myself
Now I'm just a product on a shelf
Saves me having to try to be myself
No price is right for what was free
But now comes glaringly brand new
This bottled water taps the need
To wash the process poison through
To what degree does quality
Now seek to pass it's brief exam
Whose soaps were said to make us
Feel so happy for so short a span
The slaves who push the buttons
Creep the slaves who buy the sap
We're on the path to madness
And can't get there fast enough
Now I'm just a product on a shelf
Saves me having to try to be myself
Now I'm just a product on a shelf
Saves me having to try to be myself
