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
