about

After writing these lyrics I came across a quote from Banksy about the subject. I couldn’t write better liner notes to this song than his comment on modern day advertising:

“People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and all the fun is happening somewhere else.They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are “The Advertisers” and they are laughing at you." - Banksy

lyrics

“You stink, you are fat and you are ugly
What the hell are you wearing?”
Some examples from a bully's menu
“Kids can be so cruel”

“You stink, you are fat and you are ugly
What the hell are you wearing?”
Random commercials on our TV
“You want to become cool?”

Everybody wants to be unique
But nobody wants to stand out
Sweaty, smelly, hairy, belly; not all dwarfs fit the fairy tale
Photoshop can save us all

Flash-forwards to a promising future
Give me flashbacks to a troubled past
Manipulated, objectified and brainwashed
Solutions to a problem we never addressed

Don't believe them, the schoolyard bullies when you were young
Don't believe them, the corporate bullies that tell you wrong
Don't believe their fairy tales, “improving” who you are
Don't buy what the bullies tell or sell you
