psychology investigative probing
a blunt instrument human mind
trying to decipher what makes it tick...
a group of men all suited pioneers
in a psychology lab conduct experiments
selected field of study an intriguing insight...
into desires that granted bind us
proving not all desires and wishes
granted are permanent fix good for us
habits demanding compulsive can bind us...
a later age of excessive materialism
desires to possess the latest greatest
trends in fashion advancing technology
proves desires compulsive will bind us...
good enough is not fashionable enough
efficient enough is not fast enough
a little dated dented is not shiny enough
an earlier model is not trendy enough...
this waste culture generation fails to save the planet enough...
an intriguing insight into desires
that granted bind us
proving not all desires and wishes
granted are good for us...
simple psychology
advertising effective
creates must have addicts
must have cultural generations...
