lyrics

Techno info
Get the latest gizmo
It's a must
Spend a load of wonga
Spending more for longer
'Til we're bust

Trash fantastic
Everything is plastic
Or it's shite
What a clever notion
Dump it in the ocean
Out of sight

Turn up all your heating
Double what you're eating

Buy it just for fun
Maybe two for one
And get one free
Ain't against the law
Buying everything and more
It's only greed

What a lot you got
Made it in a sweat-shop

Everyone endourses
Using up resourses
But what for?
Making plenty money
Really isn't funny anymore

Hack and frack
As long as I'm alright jack

Heading for disaster
The more you spend
The more you save
Wheels are turning faster
Gonna be a master
Or a slave

Put it on the bill
Turn it into land-fill
