Lyrics Operation Ivy – Artificial Life

He’s got a song about some love that’s gone away
Some times his eyes shed tiny teardrops when he plays
His touching ballads are just sitting there to buy
They call it music, but it seems more like a lie

Artificial life in the market
Artificial life in the market place
Artificial life in the market
Artificial life in the market place

Epic ballads by the musical whores
Life is boring so project theirs onto yours
Hear the anthems of the Pepsi generation
See the martyrs of our spiritual degradation

Artificial life in the market
Artificial life in the market place
Artificial life in the market
Artificial life in the market place

American culture, Disneyland freakshow
Screen in your living room
A window for your tomb
If you can’t compare to the world just sitting there
Repress you insecurities, watch and escape

Give me artificial, give me superficial
Give me a commercial life that can’t be bought
This I say to you, what I say is treu
Emotions aren’t a product to sell and cannot be consumed

Coming attraction, its coming real soon
Prince is having lunch with Pat Boone
Want to know where all the bullshit goes
It goes down the sewer to be disposed

Artificial life in the market
