From the recording Expecting A Miracle
This song says that Capitalism is our religion. It poses many questions about our society and doesn't really give answers but leaves one thinking. Isn't there a better way?
Lyrics
Let The Buyer Beware
You say that you are nobody's fool
And keep on thinking you're the exception to the rule
But honey, when it comes to corruption
Everbody's got their hands into something
This world it has but one religion
And that, my friend, is capitalism
One law throughout the land
Hurry, hurry, take as much as you can
Money is the honey it grooves the busy bees
And if we boycott, then they'll be down on their knees
So let the buyer beware
In him lies the power of change
Let the people compare
And examine what's behind the name
AIDS and cancer, who's got the answer?
I know there must be a cure
But if it doesn't line a corporate pocket
Then AIDS and cancer we must endure
Pre-chorus
So let the buyer beware
In her lies the power of change
Let the people compare
And examine what's behind the name
See that woman on the screen
And lookin' so fine in the magazine
Her sexiness is just a job
And so she helps a man to rob
As long as he gets what he needs
It doesn't matter who he bleeds
For she's denied her heart's demand
To be a puppet in his hands
