Sweatshop Union - Goldrush lyrics

Mothers and sons, fathers and daughters you're Praisin' the dollar just like it's a goddess Now, process the thought you could say yo' it's not us; We're cautious so as not to get caught up on products Bull sh** so full of McDonalds you need calonics No honest, they've got us just how they've got us so that we want it And will it stop? No! Not since your self-strength went through the window [Hook] It's all money in the world on the ride With the, you and I gettin robbed by the? And everything you know and love is getting sold up (sold up) Sold out in the frenzy for the goldrush X2 Look at the pop kings and queens Stop think and see that the tug of marketing beneath those hot pink caprees Got you talkin' and bein' like all the Hollywood phony sh** Better watch what you're preachin' now days not even only just that I need a pony it's that I need a Nokia-teen-barbie phone with a monthly credit loan Because it's family stuff And we love to be nice parents But you ought to know your daughter's growin' up to be like Paris And they don't care it's in your homes or your own minds They got you when your born so it's in your bones Like a kiddie-farm goldmine Generation so blind We don't need to think, that's the whole nine And you can hide, but they got million-dollar spin-doctors Workin' through the night to get a million out your thin pockets Got a bottom line, big profits, big willy wanna brainwash the world Gonna make a k**ing off it [Hook] I remember being thirteen, diggin' in my moms purse Fiendin' to get the name brand shirts Jeans, and anything else I thought was cool Wanted to show off my shoes once I got to school To make the other kids jealous Tryin'a front like I bought 'em at Footlocker when I got 'em at Zeller's But what the hell was I supposed to say man These girls'll ignore you unless your clothes are name brand, sh** But by the time I turned seventeen Realized that almost everything I thought was important had never been And a lot of what I taught was true just wasn't So by then I rarely got to school Started seeing it's a consumers world Perpetuating greed that consumers the world And everybody's over obsessed with their possessions Getting loaded with debt Got us climbing out a hole till we're old and decrepit [Hook]
