Supply and Demand Songtext
von Active Minds

They tell us they run our society on the economics of supply and demand
But what they fail to tell us is that our desires are already planned
The people who supply the goods, in order to satisfy their own greed
Create fashions and demand for things that none of us really need
It′s a competitive society on which they rely
So that we will demand what they want to supply
Are you keeping up with the people next door?
Don't they have three cars?
Maybe you should have four In the interests of the money-men our desires are manipulated
By trying to make us feel inadequate or that our clothes are too outdated
If you think that I′m not telling the truth
Then perhaps you could explain to me who actually felt
It was necessary to create half the things advertised on your TV
In a world of finite resources, there simply is no room
For a society which cannot control its desire to consume
For our obsession with disposable junk we will pay a high price
Because we have only one Earth and we can't use it twice
