Buy You Things

What

Is the secret to life

A good life

One with a swimming pool

In the back yard?

What 

is the thing you want most

Is it within reach?

Does it fly

Over your private beach?

How

Will you buy all these things?

What are you willing to

Surrender ...

Your soul your first born

Being a pretender...

Let's dig it out

And cook it down

Let's send it 'round

And we will see...

If it can buy you things

...Buy you things

The great unwashed

They want your stash

They want their posh
They'll pay you cash

And you will sell them

Anything

So you can buy that

Strange illusion

No you ain't causin'

No pollution

Maybe everything will work out fine

You will have your bling

Just as soon as you've sold them

Everything

Now
Their skys are black
There's no turning back
You've mortgaged it all
Straight to Hell

Now let's  see...

If it will buy you things

...Buy you things, buy you things
