[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Bouncy Bass, Clean Electric Guitar, Tight Drums, Playful Organ, Vintage Synth Stabs]
[Spoken Vocal]
Mass…
Consumption…
Buy…
Buy…
(Maybe it’s time to say goodbye?)
[Refrain]
Mass
(Consumption)
Bye buy
Pass
(Resumption)
Bye buy
Sigh…
You know…
(You’ve gotta go)
[Verse 1]
Walk into the store
See a little more
Something catches your eye
Another reason why
Got to have it now
Don’t ask yourself how
Fill the cart and pay
Then toss it all away
[Pre-Chorus]
Want it!
(Buy it!)
Need it!
(Do I?)
More!
(Give me more!)
Stop!
(What’s it for?)
[Chorus]
Bye buy
(Bye buy)
Wave it goodbye
(Bye buy)
Mass consumption
(Moving fast)
Feeds the habit
(Does it last?)
Buy buy
(Bye buy)
Another thing goes by
(Bye buy)
Less can be more
(That’s the score)
Leave a little
(For the future)
[Verse 2]
A bargain isn’t free
When the cost is hard to see
From the factory to the shelf
From the shelf to someone else
Resources leave the ground
Then they travel all around
Energy goes into the chain
Then the leftovers remain
[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Funky Blues-Rock, Bouncy Bass, Tight Drums, Organ Chops, Synth Accents]
[Bridge]
Pass!
(Resumption!)
Pass on!
(The temptation!)
Use what you’ve got
(Use it again)
Fix it!
(Repair!)
Share it!
(Be fair!)
Want less
(Need less)
Waste less
(Live more)
… for sure!
[Breakdown]
[Drums Drop Out: Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Soft Piano]
Sigh…
You know…
You’ve gotta go…
Away from the habit.
(How ’bout it)
[Rap Vocal Break]
Buy buy
Click click
Swipe swipe
Add it to the cart real quick
New new
More more
What was the old one for?
Make it
Ship it
Wrap it
Flip it
Use it once
Then forget it
Mass consumption
Running the show
But we can slow it
We can say no
Bye buy
(Bye buy)
That’s the move
(That’s the groove)
Choose what matters
Change the rules
(Fools!)
[Final Refrain]
Mass
(Consumption)
Bye buy
Pass
(Resumption)
Bye buy
Sigh…
You know…
(You’ve gotta go)
[Final Chorus]
Bye buy
(Bye buy)
Wave it goodbye
(Bye buy)
Mass consumption
(Out of control)
Less consumption
(Set the goal)
Buy buy
(Bye buy)
Let the old habit die
(Bye buy)
Use what you have
(Repair and share)
Need a little
(Leave some there)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Acoustic Guitar, Funk Bass, Light Drums, Organ, Warm Synth Fade]
Bye…
Buy…
Bye buy…
Sigh…
You know…
You’ve gotta go.
[Spoken, fading]
Bye buy.
