This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
When you're in their shopping cart,
You are just legs and arms
Don't it feel good to wake up with a heart?
Oh baby, the sex was swell
And you're the buy and sell
Not the consumer reports, couldn't tell
I'll spend my last five bucks
To lie to myself
We got him right where we want him
If the stocks don't rise,
I'll hang you out to dry
I got just what I wanted,
Watch the suit and tie fall from the high rise, yeah
Oh baby, you're snug as shit
In your designer fit
Just don't let it replace your own skin
Come on, I'm feeling fine
In your product line
But by all means, don't let me waste your time
Alright
We got him right where we want him
If the stocks don't rise,
I'll hang you out to dry
I got just what I wanted,
Watch the suit and tie fall from the high rise, yeah
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
We got him right where we want him
If the stocks don't rise,
I'll hang you out to dry
I got just what I wanted,
In your eyes, I am just dollar signs
You are just legs and arms
Don't it feel good to wake up with a heart?
Oh baby, the sex was swell
And you're the buy and sell
Not the consumer reports, couldn't tell
I'll spend my last five bucks
To lie to myself
We got him right where we want him
If the stocks don't rise,
I'll hang you out to dry
I got just what I wanted,
Watch the suit and tie fall from the high rise, yeah
Oh baby, you're snug as shit
In your designer fit
Just don't let it replace your own skin
Come on, I'm feeling fine
In your product line
But by all means, don't let me waste your time
Alright
We got him right where we want him
If the stocks don't rise,
I'll hang you out to dry
I got just what I wanted,
Watch the suit and tie fall from the high rise, yeah
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
We got him right where we want him
If the stocks don't rise,
I'll hang you out to dry
I got just what I wanted,
In your eyes, I am just dollar signs
