I heard that black and hispanic consumers were considered the
Easiest target markets on it seems to damage some used jeans
I heard that this Columbus discovered nothing but natives living here
He killed the man we senselessly celebrated on Thanksgiving here
I heard that this clothing used to be a symbolic
Sign for homosexuals to identify like kind
I heard that kids are only most likely to read cigarette
Ads placed conveniently low enough for them to see
This is the marketplace, hucksters, monopolies
Schools of charts, diagrams, programs, microchips
This is the marketplace, advertising sleight of hand
Off the corners of the public eye supplying what the times demand
This is the marketplace, piggy banks, open hand
Give me some, kill a man, business-mo, billboard
This is the marketplace, where real live dreams grow, and goodness
It would seem, but solely, strictly fortified to control your mind
I saw an anorexic woman taking the place of a
Cellulite reality on every magazine cover actually
I saw photos of Area 51 by satellites in the air
But the government says it doesn't
Exist so that's what claim it is there
I saw subliminal messages in the movie theatre
Flashing popcorn in between cuts to make me buy later
I saw the American flag waving proudly on a dome without a care
But if it's on the moon, then there's no one out there
I saw the small print answer that may cause cancer
I saw the government give cheese to breakdancers
I saw graduation speeches saying "All
Are individuals, everyone's listening"
Wearing identical robes, defying traditional written form
I saw the world capitalize on death to benefit the patriots
Then claim to remember once the revolution was televised
I saw women crying mutilated, tricked as victims, worried thinking
"I don't fit the definition someone else created"
This is the marketplace, hucksters, monopolies
Schools of charts, diagrams, programs, microchips
This is the marketplace, advertising sleight of hand
Off the corners of the public eye supplying what the times demand
This is the marketplace, piggy banks, open hand
Give me some, kill a man, business-mo, billboard
This is the marketplace, where real live dreams grow, and goodness
It would seem, but solely, strictly fortified to control your mind
I know the game had better stop before we run out of crops
Half of the food you eat now, yo, is made from props
I know that often lives we're living
Don't reflect the life we're given
Or the difference between myself and what we all consider well
I know the world don't move to the beat of one drum
Cause a heart costs money, but my hands are numb
I know that we are taught to follow, but not taught to follow through
It's hopeless if you're looking down on leaders cause it's up to you
This is the marketplace, hucksters, monopolies
Schools of charts, diagrams, programs, microchips
This is the marketplace, advertising sleight of hand
Off the corners of the public eye supplying what the times demand
This is the marketplace, piggy banks, open hand
Give me some, kill a man, business-mo, billboard
This is the marketplace, where real live dreams grow, and goodness
It would seem, but solely, strictly fortified to control your mind
