LABEL
|
I watch the T.V. , I see the Adverts. They tell me how to live my life the person I ought to be. I read the papers, Magazines of Fashion. They show me visions of the Norm I just can`t hope to achieve. Under the table I wear my label, Cos I`m not able to identify myself. Present the image that is expected and just a symbol of imaginary wealth. Umbro, Armani, Get out your cheque books, And make another contribution to the social divide. Ben Sherman, Reebok. Take out a bank loan. I`m under pressure from the primitive side. Mommy Mommy I want the new shirt just like Tommy ! Get the mother through the mind of the child. I need the right things so I can fit in, Cos children can be cruel and so receptive to hype. Chorus I wear the make up, I use the skin cream, I eat the diet to stay pretty and young. I want a figure just like the models, So I go out to the bathroom and I throw it all up. Out in the disco I drink the right things, Label to front so that everybody can see. Holsten and Fosters, Bacardi Breezers, I only take the drugs that they sell on T.V. Chorus I`ve seen the movie, I`ve bought the T-shirt, So now I`m just another product like the rest on the shelf. I know I`m J.D. or am I Tommy ? But I`ve got half an hours free talk time to express myself. I walk the tightrope between the logos, Iwear the symbol of the age but I don`t know what it means. I`m independent in my thinking, So don`t you mess with me cos I`m my own can of beans. |
