Paroles de Homo-Consumens
Obey the establishedBorn, consume and breed
Chained to a lifelong mortgage
Satisfy your material needs
Wish what you can’t have
And don’t need
Only to seem superior
To climb up the hierarchy
Null individuality
Stand out pretending to be…
Believe in a god or not
Born, consume and die
Aware of this cage
We live in
One more day
To avoid reality
Patterns were given
Take what you need
Shepherd of the system
For empty fulfillment
Living ostentation Debt.
"Modern society creates a type of man whom I have earlier called the homo consumens -- the consumer man whose main interest becomes, aside from working from nine to five, to consume”.
[Erich Fromm]
Only to seem superior
To climb up the hierarchy
Null individuality
Stand out pretending to be…
Believe in a god or not
Born, consume and die
Aware of this cage
We live in
One more day
To avoid reality
Patterns were given
Take what you need
Shepherd of the system
For empty fulfillment
Living ostentation Debt.
