Sucker for Your Marketing
Sarah Jaffe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whatever you put out I'm gonna buy it
So what's your latest I wanna try it
Are you still in love or are you over it again
When the damn thing grew, oh, with no intent
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh

When its wildest seed spread its disease
When the comfort grew to the deepest blue
And the way truth came on its own time
When it did it came before you realized
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh

This was said
This was said
This was said
This was said





Ooh-ooh, oh

Overall Meaning

The song "Sucker for Your Marketing" by Sarah Jaffe is a commentary on consumer culture and how people are easily swayed by marketing tactics. The lyrics convey the idea that the singer is a willing participant in this culture, willing to buy whatever is being sold regardless of the product's quality or actual value. The repetition of the chorus "Whatever you put out, I'm gonna buy it" emphasizes this point.


The second verse of the song uses metaphorical imagery to describe how this consumer culture can be harmful to individuals and society as a whole. The "wildest seed" that "spread its disease" symbolizes the harmful ideas and values that can spread through marketing, while the "comfort" that "grew to the deepest blue" represents the complacency and acceptance of these harmful thoughts and practices. The line "the way truth came on its own time, when it did it came before you realized" exemplifies how marketing and consumer culture can manipulate people into accepting false narratives and beliefs.


Overall, "Sucker for Your Marketing" critiques the way consumer culture can manipulate and control individuals by playing on their desires and insecurities. It suggests that people should be more critical and aware of the messages they are receiving from the media.

...Ster says to a few friends, "Say, some songs get so completely overlooked, when they should be all over the radio. Jams like this one should have the airwaves, instead of all that crap the bobble-heads are playing hourly."... Thanks for collage radio, and THX Sarah for such a delightfully painless sound. Keep it up...
