Subliminal Girl
I watch the flicker of lights
They are clear and steady
Blazing out continuously
In brilliant letters
Huge digital billboards
And cold electronic signs
Sending signals to the brain
Of the latest consumer designs
No time to think
No time to digest it
Keep on working
To pay for the transmit
I will buy a new car
And replace the TV
Keep the system rolling
As part of the economy
Stroll around the mall
Listen to the doublespeak
Join in with the crowd
Buy the same as last week
Buy now, buy now
Self autonomy
Buy it replace it
Its good for the economy
Goodbye for now
But you will be back
Customer loyalty
With biofeedback
Based on a short story by JG Ballard, The Subliminal Man
