So tell me, why has the climate flipped?

The truth is black and white like Nanaimo chips

Or the No Logo logo, used to buy hardcore for dolo

Now I’m trying to put holes in their barcodes like promos

Shit, I even know why we spend

Companies concentrate on our camp like IBM

Ever seen a CEO smile? They get focused as hell

Coal burners after oil murders, ghosts in the Shell

Hello, what’s yellow and red and Bush’s fellow in bed?

You better get the point like stilettos to head

Dead, right, they map out a path that’d kill a tourist

There’s smoke on the water, straight outta Philip Morris

Look at Wal-Mart, they thug down the nicest

Gun through their sweatshops and run down the prices

As far as wrong plans go

They’re a bigger public enemy than Flavor Flav working for Monsanto

[Chorus] x 2

Don’t spend a dime until they get the price filed

Even I’m selling a lifestyle

Testing the cost, from freshest temp to veteran boss

30 seconds gets my message across

I am a man at odds with companies far from even-handed

But I’ve even handed out cash for their jeans and hats

It’s seeming that I contradict quite slightly

Conflicted, wearing orange, blue and white Nikes

But does it really make a difference since everyone’s interest is green paper

Many companies thrive off cheap labour

Like I told this punk to watch his feet, he said “fuck off”

Told him Nike owns Converse, you aren’t safe with Chucks on

Now it seems what you wear is a cotton ideology

Or a homespun philosophy for grown-up autonomy

But you are not alone like a festival lineup

Your closet, to find the tree that they want you to climb up

I’m not hung up on thrift stores, but I feel a little better

Spending cheddar on a used button-up or sweater

I won’t say stop buying cause it isn’t realistic

But cop because you want it, make your own damn decisions

[Chorus] x 2

Don’t spend a dime until they get the price filed

Even I’m selling a lifestyle

Testing the cost, from freshest temp to veteran boss

30 seconds gets my message across

First, you are being watched and I’m not fucking paranoid

A pair of boys with pens are getting locked to your latitude

An attitude to get is real smart with your aptitude

Before you let ‘em in, quite proper to batter you

Your game’s not all fixed, because your name’s on a list

You’re an actor in a play and they’re not changing the script

It’s amazing descent, grassy knoll, magic bullet

Had to pull from a tape loop, don’t get juiced like a grapefruit

Product placement in your moving pictures, hatred in your schooling system

Forsake your patron saint, cause the president will use religion

For his own devices, vice grip, grip tape, tape roll

Roll up, up start, start this, this play is a display

Of politrickery, Kerry, wouldn’t call it victory

Whether red or blue, they’re giving you wood like hickory

This is the gravest record of vast instruction

Signing off, Cadence Weapon of mass destruction

[Chorus] x 2

Don’t spend a dime until they get the price filed

Even I’m selling a lifestyle

Testing the cost, from freshest temp to veteran boss

30 seconds gets my message across
