Lyrics


BRANDS
I’ve never underestimated
An audience’s taste
And found my bid too low
It’s pabulum that they love
So it’s pabulum that they’ll get
On with the show

Welcome to my Zeitgeist
Crass carnival of now
Let your cranium slip
Into the frenzy, all of this
Then sweet subjugation

Pabulum, we need new pabulum
Not just a plot twist

MOGUL
I know that don’t work

BRANDS
We need some brand new pabulum
Maybe something classy

Who’s mining your data?

MOGUL
Sometimes it’s me

BRANDS
Your thoughts for a few bits more
Tailored,

MOGUL
To your desires

BRANDS & MOGUL
Our seductive trap is set
For your stultification

Pabulum, we need new pabulum
Not some cheap knock-off act 

MOGUL
That never clicks

BRANDS & MOGUL
We need some brand new pabulum
Looking for something glitzy

Bow down to the money changers
In their temples rigging the markets
‘Cause they rule the universe
‘Cause we rule the universe
The universe, our universe

Disguised as just a couple 'a pitchmen

MOGUL
Selling,

BRANDS & MOGUL
Selling off some souls

BRANDS
Maybe yours?

BRANDS & MOGUL
Priced at market value
So that you can own your own

MOGUL
And who wouldn’t want that?

BRANDS & MOGUL
Then pure subordination

Pabulum, we need new pabulum
Not a has-been’s revival 

MOGUL
We fired her before

BRANDS & MOGUL
We need some brand new pabulum

BRANDS
I think it could be scary?

MOGUL
Scary’s good

BRANDS & MOGUL
Pabulum, we need new pabulum
Not last year’s biggest hit
With a bit of retrofit 
We need some brand new pabulum
And make it extra sexy
Make it extra sexy
Make it super sexy
Make it white hot sexy
