Seize the Day - Bigger, Better, Brighter lyrics

Bigger better brighter bolder bullsh** now I see they got a bigger bullsh** now I'd better get a better bullsh** now Give me a brighter bolder bullsh** now We've got a greener brand of bullsh** I'm not gullible you won't catch me Getting had by an adman's fantasy Of a supermodel in a talking car With a nicotine nipple and a chocolate bra As a jingle fingers through my soul and I'm twitching to a rhythm that I don't control Itching for a fix down the old arcade Where I spent all the money that I just got paid Bigger Better Brighter Bolder bullsh** now Am I an animal, so programmable, A pavlov dog in a revolving door? Or a human spirit that has got no limit And I ain't gonna double for a dunce no more Say that I won't but I probably will 'Cos they've got my number and they're ringing it still Singing "Heal the hunger in your soul" With a brand new filling for a brand new hole And it's all for my freedom of choice That a thousand satellites got one voice For a TV shopper who remotely votes Channel hopping in the cabin of a sinking boat Titanic, what's the panic bullsh** now? Slave or citizen, same old sh** again Got a lot of what I never used to need While all I'm cherishing is perishing Fed to the fetish of a great white greed Greed in the boardroom bigger than god Using the woman as a wink and nod And a prod to the herd that are driving by "You can have my body if you buy my lie" Somebody in this neighbourhood Ought to take those billboards out for good Ought to run them dealers out of town Ought to take back the power and hand it around Start planning for an insurrection now I'm not a terrorist, maybe an anarchist, A nice bloke, doesn't wanna hurt no one, But if we don't stop it then our kids are gonna cop it And how we gonna pay 'em for the damage we done? I say 'we', what do I mean? Just a lot of little people in a big machine Just a lot of little links in a global chain Where we want more pleasure so we make more pain And it seems like nobody's in control Just money making money and it's got no soul And it's got no power but the power we give When we doubt that without it we could live Imagine - it's easy if you try I'm an idealist - also a realist I know it's difficult to kick that drug But if we get clever and we give it up together What a great endeavour when we pull that plug I'm sick and tired of all the bullsh** now I think we're running out of bullsh** now I've had enough of all the bullsh**
