Kingdom of Loss Pain of Salvation

Someone sells us Toys™ in a cheap cartoon
Someone sells us Cars™ in the latest Bond™ that's coming soon
Someone sells us Trends™ through a sitcom star
Someone sells Herself™ in a docu-soap that goes too far

Life™ on sale

Can someone please just tell me what happened?
I mean, first we paid for fast-food that will make us all fat and tired
So then we pay for elevators
So we won't have to climb the 3 stairs up to our apartments
Then we buy freaking StairMaster™ machines
So we can burn away while watching someone make real food on TV
Now if that doesn't make us winners, I don't know what will
I bet we would hang ourselves, if the world would just cut us a slack
And now you think maybe you should see a shrink
Help you feel alive again - yeah, that's a plan
Just tell us who to pay

Someone sells us Man™ in a White House™ speech
Then Woman™ tightly pressed
Between two bouncing breasts on a Baywatch™ beach
Someone sells us Us™ everywhere I turn
Then introducing Them™
To earn stock-points on our concern
