From the recording Living in the Corporate U.S.A.
This is a quiet little acoustic tune about inequality and how some folks will go grossly into debt to feel like one of the upper class Jones's. (Wonderful vocals by Ceilidh and Stacia on this one)
Lyrics
Affluenza
I’m the one percenta
Live in the shopping centa
Garage to park my Benza
I buy the most expensive wine
Maxing out my credit line
But what the hell, I’m doin’ fine
Consumerism
A financial chasm
Guilt and isolation
Lack of motivation
I have debt anxiety
But I blame society
Material inequality
That ended my sobriety
I shop to feel better
I’m a real jet setter
A compulsive debtor
Affluenza
We’re the one percenta
Bought a new credenza
Paid to get in Mensa
