Birth Control Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No reason to go into raptures
Watchin' TV
You hear buy, buy, buy, buy, buy
Watch a movie show
Tells you what will happen there
They show you many things
Maybe a grave
Maybe with a coloured fountain
Casting violet beams into the sky
Take a look at the papers
Nothin' else but politics and crimes
Among its advertisements
They say buy, buy, buy, buy, buy
Maybe a girl
Maybe with a real big bosom
She scares away your doubts into the sky
You've just got paid
No reason to go into raptures
Watchin' TV
You hear buy, buy, buy, buy, buy
Watch a movie show
Tells you what will happen there
They show you many things
You hear buy, buy, buy, buy, buy
Maybe a grave
Maybe with a coloured fountain
Casting violet beams into the sky
The Birth Control song 'Buy!' is a satirical commentary on consumerist culture. The song is an indictment of modern society's obsession with materialism and the constant bombardment of advertisements encouraging us to buy more, consume more and pursue a lifestyle driven by material possessions. The lyrics talk of how even with money in hand, one shouldn't be enticed into frivolous spending, as the media is always there with catchy jingles and flashy ads to encourage us to buy more, drowning us with hypnotic 'Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy' chants.
The song delivers an ironic twist as it portrays advertisements as presenting attractive lifestyle options, such as beautiful scenery and women with big bosoms. Still, deep down, they possess an empty void that products alone cannot fulfill. The song suggests that money and materialism do not ultimately bring happiness, and that true fulfillment should come from within oneself. Additionally, the final lyric about the grave and the coloured fountain casting violet beams into the sky is a reminder that life is fleeting, and material possessions have no value once we pass on.
