The Consumer (消费者) - Corb Lund[00:00:00]
Written by:Tom Charles Connors[00:00:02]
The consumer they call us[00:00:11]
We're the people that buy[00:00:13]
Well everyone else is out to sell some kind of merchandise[00:00:15]
We run to the boss and tell 'em we need a bit more gold[00:00:19]
Some tax deductions later we still wind up in the hole[00:00:22]
Oh yes we are the people running in the race[00:00:27]
Buying up the bargains in the OL' marketplace[00:00:31]
Another sale on something we'll buy it while it's hot[00:00:35]
Save a lot of money spending money we don't got[00:00:39]
We save a lot of money spending money we don't got[00:00:43]
The consumer they call us[00:00:48]
We always get a fair shake[00:00:50]
We buy a fridge that doesn't freeze and a stove that doesn't bake[00:00:52]
We can't buy nothing lasting unless we get that raise in pay[00:00:56]
And they'd only charge us more for the things that cost less today[00:01:00]
The consumer they call us[00:01:04]
We're fussy what we eat[00:01:07]
We look at the price of t-bone steak and buy hamburg meat[00:01:09]
And all those fancy packages we take down from the shelf[00:01:12]
They're always full of good fresh air when they're full of nothing else[00:01:16]
Oh yes we are the people running in the race[00:01:21]
Buying up the bargains in the OL' marketplace[00:01:25]
Another sale on something we'll buy it while it's hot[00:01:29]
We save a lot of money spending money we don't got[00:01:33]
We Save a lot of money spending money we don't got[00:01:37]
The consumer they call us[00:01:44]
When the man comes in the door[00:01:46]
To give us a deal on a vaccume when we buy a rug for the floor[00:01:48]
And how do we pay the finance when the monthly bills arrive[00:01:52]
They just send down the bailiff to reposes the car we drive[00:01:55]
The consumer is what they call us we're always deep in debt[00:02:00]
From buying drawers in Discount stores to fixing the TV set[00:02:04]
We go to the bank for the money and sign for another loan[00:02:08]
And hope the lord doesn't see us stop in the tavern halfway home[00:02:12]
Oh yes we are the people running in the race[00:02:17]
Buying up the bargains in the OL' marketplace[00:02:21]
Another sale on something we'll buy it while it's hot[00:02:25]
We save a lot of money spending money we don't got[00:02:28]
We Save a lot of money spending money we don't got[00:02:32]
We Save a lot of money spending money we don't got[00:02:36]
