about

What are you giving up for convenience?

lyrics

Why tug and tear at a plastic package?
We can free you from all that frustration
It really hurts us to see you struggle
Even though you’re beautiful when you get mad

Now there you go; you go and get all tight-lipped
You would not believe all the things gave up for you
We’ve come a long way from the desert and the jungle
We’ve got an easy-open tab for you to pull

We made it easier to open up
We made it easier to open up
So throw your scissors away
You won’t need them anymore

And now you’re running through the supermarket
Jackals and wolves bare their teeth all around you
You smell rebellion but dare not spark it
That razor blade in your hand has an ugly edge

Now we can help you cut yourself free from this
It won't hurt a bit; it won't cost a thing
You’ll just need to promise to be different
Different from the rest of them; different just like us

We made it easier to leave it on
We made it easier to leave it on
So put that razor away
You won’t need it anymore

We wrote a treaty for the vultures and jackals
On their skin, in blood of their children
Their hackles rose as they smelled us coming
Dancing our platitudinous two-step
Along the edge of an uncanny valley
Where just a little slip could send us to a broken neck

We made it easier to give it up
They made it easier to give it up
Just give your decisions away
We won’t need them anymore
They made it easier to give it up
We made it easier - so just give up
Just do whatever they say
And we’ll get our freedom back
