Truth is for sale—
Opinions, and neat little downloads
For our curious minds.
We sell them, like Bleach
Or like Coca-Cola.
Green is worth a few hundred million
Beta and Alpha males worth a couple more.
Libertarianism is a huge market
And Conspiracy Theories takes them all by storm.
Big Foot and Mermaids are now our History,
Aliens built the Pyramids.
Feminism makes lots of money—
Someone prospers off those vagina hats…
Republicanism and Democratism
Make a good, solid investment
Like they were treasury bonds.
They’re a small investment,
But one worth the time that you will ALWAYS make some money.
Multilevel Marketing schemes are worth a lot of money
So is self help.
So are the books we read,
So is the NFL trying to arbitrate Tuesday
As our holy day of doing laundry.
These are our products.
They are so efficient at being products,
That nobody really can get a word in edge wise.
It must all be cannon, and orthodox doctrine
According to the holy write
Of radicalism.
It must not be original
But must tout one party line.
If you believe in Markets
You must not believe in Global Warming.
If you believe in God
You must not believe in Evolution.
If you believe in gun rights
You must not believe in free healthcare.
See, it’s party lines
That have cornered the market on truth
And also their lies.
With truth on both sides of the argument
And lies therewith
The lies we believe are only as accurate as the truths we
Passionately hold onto; because we know the truth is accurate.
But, until the truth no longer exists
And only lies exist in our dogmas,
Those dogmas
Will be our indulgences.
Call me Martin Luther
Nailing my Ninety-Nine theses
On the door of Branding.
Brand is in my name;—
But, like you I am just another product.
Like Dogs
We make a cameo
In our lives, our
Perfectly specious lives; Lo!
Through the edges.
