From Vanity to Utility

about this song

All this external affluence Put in place to distract you from reality Superfluous to our needs It's the way the powers maintain The status quo class alignment Stratification of the rich and the poor Based on spending power Superfluous to our needs It's the way the powers maintain The status quo class alignment Stratification of the rich and the poor Based on spending power They'll distract you (From vanity to utility) All this external affluence
