Consumer
I am blinded by light
Flashing, flashing, flashing
The images blur together
Aggressively telling me
Buy MAC
Buy COACH
Call 1-800-GET-THIN
Blinking
Flashing
Blinking
Flashing
I need, I want, I yearn
I possess
I collect
I show off
I want it all
I have it all
And when I cry,
My tears are black.
