Suburban Blight
F-Minus Lyrics

The lyrics "they take the money, you take the lies" and "developing new ways to sell us the same old shit" in F-Minus's song Suburban Blight critique the manipulative tactics used by corporations to deceive consumers and make a profit. The line "they take the money, you take the lies" implies that companies are willing to take consumers' hard-earned money and give them false or incomplete information about their products in return. This highlights the power imbalance between corporations and consumers, with the former exploiting the latter for financial gain.

The line "developing new ways to sell us the same old shit" further emphasizes the dishonesty of these companies. The use of the word "developing" suggests that corporations are actively devising new strategies to continue selling their same old products, even if they are outdated or ineffective. This speaks to the culture of consumerism in which people are encouraged to constantly buy and consume, even if it doesn't benefit them in any way.
