Man I ' m broke and I love it
I ' m blowing my budget
I ' m fresh out of c-notes
Could you loan me a dussin
I guess I ' ll owe you or something
You see I got a weakness
For sweeping clean adidas
Sneakers and new t-shirts
I ' m caught up in the game
That they do run run
I ' m the first one at the store
When the new ones come
I realize that it ' s problem
I ' m on top of the shit
But my hunger for the retail
Is a bottomless pit
Man I guess it ' s the commercials 38568,-130)
That I saw as a kid
When I wasn ' t in the kitchen
With my paws in the fridge
When my fingers weren ' t itching
For a bundle of bills man
Before the whole charade
Of the money appeal came
They put it in your head
You hold that thought
Now my skin don ' t have a rash
But I robot-walk
And this spending-spree has
Taking on obscene proportions
And I just keep on spinning
On the wheel of fortune
I say
The world is full of things I need
That ' s what they telling me on TV
I punch the clock until my knuckles bleed
Still the bank account is stuck on e
Now the world is full of things I need
That ' s what they telling me on TV
I punch the clock until my knuckles bleed
Still the bank account is stuck on e
I don ' t need a TV I don ' t need a big jeep
I don ' t a closet full of tee ' s and pimp sneaks
Naw man based on my prior experiences
I buy shit that ' s expensive
Get tired of in an instance
Be lying if I say different
Listen
I don ' t need yachts limos
Ice and chicks that look like Paris Hilton
I ' m satisfied with my health
Some food and my friends
A market thrives of the shit
We do for the ends
Woofers and Timbs some jewelry
A suite and a Benz
So I can punch the clock
Until I ' m bruising my skin
And then spend my loop
On the stupidest things
I ' m glued to the pen
That means to lucrative ends
And I can pretend that
The ego-boost commends
But give me a chance
Damn I probably do it again and again
The material loop is out of control
And to the DJ ' s out there buying my soul
The world is full of things I need
That ' s what they telling me on TV
I punch the clock until my knuckles bleed
Still the bank account is stuck on e
Now the world is full of things I need
That ' s what they telling me on TV
I punch the clock until my knuckles bleed
Still the bank account is stuck on e
Addicted to retail
Addicted to retail

Addicted to retail
The sales person in the shop boy
He don ' t have a clue
Bob Roberts on your block man
He don ' t have a clue
The politicians and the cops
They don ' t have a clue
Corporations Not a clue
Information Got it through
Man all they got on you is a shitty attitude
They spit and splatter you with their petty platitude
Dizzle-dazzle you with bullshit
Son you have to have it
Pants to match the jacket
Fancy apparatus
They got somebody close to your house
You ain ' t even safe eating nachos on the couch
Cause they slipping through the wire to your TV-screen
And got the nerve to tell you “ this is what you really need ”
I see a new thing I want then I shop it rock it drop it
It ' s making holes in my pocket I can ' t stop it
A earn the burn I ' m still not concerned
It ' s sick but it seems that Tim will not learn
Turn a new page and save the wage
It ' s all and all the mall is my favorite place
And yeah pull it out and swipe the card once
Won ' t even have to pay till next month
By then I know shit will be dated and dark
I Don ' t know what to say except I hate it it ' s wrong
And you guessed it I ' m no type of proper economist
So my next step is taking me to shoppers anonymous
Cause
The world is full of stuff I need
That ' s what they telling me on TV
I punch the clock until my knuckles bleed
Now my bank account is stuck one
