consumer addiction

Lyrics

v1
i cant sing a note but i want to be noted
being tone deaf only got me outvoted
borrowing edge from my musical brothers
jotting down cues from the rythm of others
i am an artist at opening shrink wrap
every dog's day is a storeowner's trap
chorus
i got a feel for the very next store
the best things in life aren't free anymore
'least i got a weakness for shiny new things
all the advantages the next big thing brings
v2
when buying is living seems nothing gets filled
something feel empty? hell, i got a pill
i keep a cool mix of tunes in my car
if it weren't for gas prices i could go far
digging the sounds from the school of hard knocks
all that i want comes wrapped up in a box
chorus
i got a feel for the very next store
the best things in life aren't free anymore
'least i got a weakness for shiny new things
all the advantages the next big thing brings
yesteday's dreams form a pile in my basement
ab crushers, croquet sets, DVD's they used to rent
my life speaks volumes through inches of dust
whose magic bullet is the one you can trust?
all that consumed me for weeks at a time
puts holes on a shelf i'm a sucker for shine
chorus
i got a feel for the very next store
the best things in life aren't free anymore
'least i got a weakness for shiny new things
all the advantages the next big thing brings

Jesus got jived on a dusty old plan
but he's coming back as a marketing man
