the package - karma sutra (uk) lyrics

and to keep us quiet, and to keep us in our place, the spectacle so gently provides us with the package

the package * a continually changing product
to suit the needs of the consumer
yet the consumer, with his/her needs, remains unchanged
we’ll eagerly take everything they offer us
but nothing more or nothing less
they serve us cr*p upon a platinum tray
distributed and accepted with production line regularity

enticing products every month, may be
but the product still tastes like cr*p to me
i reckon that it must be pretty bl**dy obvious
they give us very little else
from the darling of the dancehall, to the bullsh*t politician
the falklands veteran or the dead policewoman
where was the praise, where did they plant the tree
for the factory worker, who fell into the machinery
we look up and we’re encouraged to look down
so our gaze never strays forward, or anywhere else
never to focus upon our real collective/individual creative possibilities
we are dazzled by the lights and distracted by the tinsel
and continually silenced by the subtlety of it
the cheap and glossy, popstar, silver plated celebrity
even those we once considered revolutionary

they sold better lives in the shape of mass produced
commodities to line our walls and shelves
they either sell or they are sold
like a tee*shirt rebellion created to harvest wealth
but even worse to the damage done
to our pockets in the quest for profits
is the damage done to the loneliness of our desires
in the name of stability
stability

so relax and consume the synthetic entertainers
with their fully guaranteed, no quibble money back offers
they’ll take our minds, off of our real problems
with an absolute promise of no solution
because on the dressing room door there’s a silver star
so we place upon a pedestal, and gaze up at in awe
we become, or rather, we strive to become
cheap imitations of people we’d rather be
the new labour aristocracy

this hero worship merely seeks to serve
the interests of those in powerful positions
realise our potential, our own capabilities
and the time will soon arrive
when we’ll consider each other
the heroes of our daily lives
