Simple Minds Simple Lives
Spitalfield Lyrics

The marketing kings are at it again
The corporate world is once again coming up with new strategies to market their products.

They're selling you lies, becoming your friend
They are selling fabricated stories and trying to act friendly just to make sales.

Until the end
They will continue to deceive people with their marketing strategies.

Irresistible job, a role-playing game, the target is you
They are making their job seem irresistible, like a fun game, with the goal of manipulating you.

And they're taking aim
They're aiming to make profits at any cost.

So step outside
Avoid getting caught up in their deceiving tactics.

We are simple minds, we live simple lives
We're just ordinary people living simple lives.

And we're doing what we love
We're pursuing our passions without conforming to society's norms.

Not trying to just to appeal to you
We're not going out of our way to please others or seek their approval.

It's when the push becomes the shove
When marketing crosses boundaries and becomes pushy and manipulative.

And when you feel it
When you sense the pressure of marketing tactics on you.

All the way
Completely compelling you to make a purchase.

Is it really true just what they say?
Questioning the authenticity of marketing claims.

Corporate contenders with imperial goals
Big corporations with ambitious goals and power.

They're hitting agendas aren't always exposed
They're pushing their hidden agendas.

So write this down
Take note of these deceptive tactics being used.

By enter their avulsion, their copy-cat trends
By buying into their deception and following their trends.

You'll become a pawn for the rest of their end
You'll become a mere tool to fulfill their self-centered motives.

Drown or die
You either become a part of their deceptive game or stay true to your simple life choices.
