Talking in Chains
Do not listen to the lies
they peddle in the market place.
The Advertisers thrive on creating
discontentment and envy.
They tell you your happiness lies
in acquiring the latest product.
Look beyond the layers of deception.
Listen to the rhythm of the ocean,
The Advertisers thrive on creating
discontentment and envy.
They tell you your happiness lies
in acquiring the latest product.
Look beyond the layers of deception.
Listen to the rhythm of the ocean,
and at night, open your eyes to the stars.
Let us remind ourselves who we really are.
Do not listen to the lies that keep us bound
in chains.
Do not listen to the lies that keep us bound
in chains.
