The shopping trip was a success, with crop tops, tank tops, summer dress
My shopping cart is bursting for just under twenty quid
Designer shoes and handbags match the color of my summer dress
Celebrity lifestyle on sale just under twenty quid
I like the summer sales because they almost make me feel content
Make wealth seem so accessible, on workers backs, my puny morals
fail, for my riches they shall pay and now I’ll book my bargain
holidays in paradise, tell everyone I paid full price
become a valued member of the hip community
I’ll buy a counterfeit Rolex, a Gucci handbag and relax
My upper class attire bought for less than twenty quid
I like the counterfeits that way my cash shortages are less on display
To keep my lifestyle on welfare has lead to bills that I still pay
The beggars on the streets of slums I cannot help but feel they are
A monument to my success, I don’t have much but they have
Less, but also less to care about, I feel a nagging doubt cause
now I start to realize my puny wealth comes at a price
They sold out my entire life for just under twenty quid
They say that these are first world problems | I guess I have been tricked whoahoahoa
The problems that I should be solving | I guess I have been tricked whoahoahoa
For every bargain that we score there is some workers back bend sore
For every woman we degrade someone’s exploited daughter paid
For every short-cut that we take we render someone’s options fake
For every plastic bag we use exists a shit reason we choose
To ignore consequence and fail
