lyrics

How could you last in this odd world being a blank slate?
They’ll offer petty treats till you fall for the bait.
Always trust that nine and seven add up to eight.

Why can’t you see their strong desire to dictate?
They throw a line to launch smoke-and-mirrors debate.
Convincing that the total’s sixteen won’t work, it’s too late.

Vouchers for the supermarket.
Vouchers to refuel my car.
Vouchers for the island farms.
Vouchers for the jimmy hat.

Why can’t you see how they force you to calibrate?
Uncertain norm. Hollow promises to compensate.
Just swallow their claim that nine and seven must make up eight.

Vouchers for the supermarket.
Thank God, I’ve got the ‘fuel pass’.
Vouchers for the ashen lands.
Thank God, 'τουρισμός για όλους/oops!'.

Won’t you see their plan to completely domesticate?
All human beings without wealth are subordinate.
Slow down and buy that nine and seven just equals eight.
Nine plus seven will always add up to eight.
