Marketplace
Got a paper package for breakfast
Covered up in imagery
It sucked me into its Venus Fly Trap
Offered a remedy
For ailments, cures from disease, hunger
I'm obese on these things
Turn on the TV, another disaster
Oil seeps into the sea
Water turned into a sick green
I turn it off in apathy
Because I'm late for the train on the market day
Gonna dance round my idols and decay
He can't hear in the cacophony
It's enough to drive a man insane
Get rich or die trying
And is this how it will remain?
Remain the same old game again
Come on down to the marketplace, boys
Everything's half-price or free
Come on down to the marketplace, girls
Oh what a happy place to be
Come on down to the marketplace, boys
Everything's half-price or free
Come on down to the marketplace, girls
Oh what a happy place to be
I look for my soul but it's disappeared
Under a ton of golden dimes
I feed meat to the carnivores that
Come to my door all the time
Just keep on digging in the gold rush and you'll make it
White lines, turning me schizophrenic
Capital games for the capital mind
Profit driven, you know the kind
Always seeking to be the very best
Always one step ahead of the rest
It's a cynical game in this business
On Saturdays drink myself into a wreck
He can't hear in the cacophony
It's enough to drive a man insane
Get rich or die trying
And is this how it will remain?
Remain the same old game again
Come on down to the marketplace, girls
Everything's half-price or free
Come on down to the marketplace, boys
Oh what a happy place to be
Come on down to the marketplace, girls
Everything's half-price or free
Come on down to the marketplace, boys
Oh what a happy place to be
Now I'm stuck right here with the narcissists
In a colony of egotists
But is greed just human nature?
We're all feathering our own nests for the future
Covered up in imagery
It sucked me into its Venus Fly Trap
Offered a remedy
For ailments, cures from disease, hunger
I'm obese on these things
Turn on the TV, another disaster
Oil seeps into the sea
Water turned into a sick green
I turn it off in apathy
Because I'm late for the train on the market day
Gonna dance round my idols and decay
He can't hear in the cacophony
It's enough to drive a man insane
Get rich or die trying
And is this how it will remain?
Remain the same old game again
Come on down to the marketplace, boys
Everything's half-price or free
Come on down to the marketplace, girls
Oh what a happy place to be
Come on down to the marketplace, boys
Everything's half-price or free
Come on down to the marketplace, girls
Oh what a happy place to be
I look for my soul but it's disappeared
Under a ton of golden dimes
I feed meat to the carnivores that
Come to my door all the time
Just keep on digging in the gold rush and you'll make it
White lines, turning me schizophrenic
Capital games for the capital mind
Profit driven, you know the kind
Always seeking to be the very best
Always one step ahead of the rest

Remain the same old game again
Come on down to the marketplace, girls
Everything's half-price or free
Come on down to the marketplace, boys
Oh what a happy place to be
Come on down to the marketplace, girls
Everything's half-price or free
Come on down to the marketplace, boys
Oh what a happy place to be
Now I'm stuck right here with the narcissists
In a colony of egotists
But is greed just human nature?
We're all feathering our own nests for the future
