Somebody once told me the world is getting buried
There's just too much we don't really need
She was looking kind of sad with a tear in both her eyes
And it made me kind of think...
Well, we live in a place where the products keep coming
Shoes and shirts, and we also need service
Didn't make sense not to own it all
The money's there, so you spend that stuff
So much to buy so much to keep
So what's wrong with 300 snuggies?
They have different patterns, you know
But that's not the problem, let's go
Hey now, you don't need that
So let go then and move on
Hey now you don't want that
So don't bother, go on
Affluenza's no gold
Environmental wisdom worldview's needed
It's a cool thing 'cause everything here
Consumers are rampant and the shopping mall's open
But PxAxT equals the impact of population
The line we draw is getting kind of thin
When's it enough and when should we quit?
That thing you bought is collecting dust
You don't even know the thing I'm talking about
'cause we want but we don't really need
U.S. and those countries
Using way more; shame, shame!
Affluenza's no gold
Environmental wisdom worldview's need...
Hey now, you don't need that
So let go then and move on
Hey now you don't want that
So don't bother, go on
Affluenza's no gold
Environmental wisdom
Somebody once asked did you hear about that virus
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep, what a concept
Things like getting stress and going bankrupt
Is that all that affluenza gives
Well, the things start pilling and we all start dying
Shop-till-you-drop is no joke, really!
Doesn't make sense to go risk it all
You think you'll be glad, but not a chance
Let's try to understand the law
Of progressive simplification
You'll never know if you don't try
You'll never know if you keep buying
Hey now, you don't need that
So let go then and move on
Hey now you don't want that
So don't bother, go on
Affluenza's no gold
