about

This song is a social critique of consumerism as fabricated by unbound capitalism and manipulative marketing.

lyrics

I was walking down the street, pretty as I could be
Such a sunny day, so sweet, today I'm happy

Oh no not again!
What is it for? Sudan?
Dude, I don't know, throw them a bone
I care as much as a stone

Silly song, happy song, silly song, yeah yeah,
Happy song, silly song, happy song, why should I care?

I was watching some TV, my favorite show,
Alongside my handsome baby, sipping on some Bordeaux

Oh no not again!
What is it for? The Afghans?
Why can't you leave me alone
I care as much as a stone

Silly song, happy song, silly song, yeah yeah,
Happy song, silly song, happy song, why should I care?

I was shopping at the mall, with my girlfriend
A thousand bucks for a Hermes shawl, this fun will never end

Oh no not again!
What is it for? Poor Americans?
Go get a job or get a loan,
I care as much as a stone

Silly song, happy song, silly song, yeah yeah,
Happy song, silly song, happy song, why should I care?
