We Buy Things We Don‘t Need

by Sabine Fiegl

We buy things we don‘t need
with money we don‘t have
to impress people we don‘t like

How far do we go to satisfy our need
to spoil our ego and satisfy our greed
we want joy from this toy

And buy things we don‘t need
with money we don‘t have
to impress people we don‘t like

Where do we go materialistically controlled
we satisfy our ego but not our soul
we want to feel whole and fill up this hole

By buying things we don‘t need
with money we don‘t have
to impress people we don‘t even like

We overdress to pretend noblesse
we possess to impress
we oppress to gain success
we possess to impress

And buy things we don‘t need
with money we don‘t have
to impress people we don‘t even like
