Lyrics

Is it you?
Is it you who's been orchestrated?
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Hey! hey! hey!
Is it you?
Hey! hey! hey!
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

American shopping malls
Where a product is sold and bought here
Euthanizing the public
While the dead walk the escalators
The drone from the loudspeakers
Repeat a subliminal message
That hypnotizes you to consume
And there's no way to fight it

Is it you?
Is it you who's been orchestrated?
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Hey! hey! hey!
Is it you?
Hey! hey! hey!
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Is this human freedom
Hedonistic excess?
Junky consumerism
Mass-production, toxic sickness
Everyone is wearing now
Plastic masks that they hide behind
Marketing massive slabs of nothing
Everything is for sale here

Is it you?
Is it you who's been orchestrated?
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Hey! hey! hey!
Is it you?
Hey! hey! hey!
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

The arrogates are spewing nonsense
Well, they're so aggressive
Yet so repulsive
Well, it's a noxious culture
Of the swarming vultures!
And I see an imposter
And he's coming to get you!

Is it you?
Is it you who's been orchestrated?
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Hey! hey! hey!
Is it you?
Hey! hey! hey!
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?
