bored because you're boring
Went to the mall
Tried on mountains of clothes under harsh florescent lights
Flaws were magnified in every which way
Vowed to get back to the gym the next day
Remembered I had an evening lecture to attend
Was genuinely relieved at the solid excuse
Bought stiff dress pants and dress shirt for work
Felt that ever-present disappointment at having turned out a typical worker-bee
Bought a bunch of stupid slogan t-shirts to tell myself I was still free
Will be wearing someone else's words
Expressing someone else's humour to prove I am still me
I was a good consumer. I did my part. I purchased things I did not need.
Ugh, why does this shit rhyme? It really shouldn't.
