lyrics
I was feeling down the other day,
couldn’t get myself out of it, you know,
found myself wandering,
in a place of comfort with climate control…
CH: Soft music to soothe me,
sights to capture my imagination, oh…
Rescue me from retail therapy,
don’t let me think that what I buy will make me whole, Oh,
Rescue me from retail therapy,
all of this stuff chokes the life from my soul…
If you’re feeling limited,
disappointments getting you down,
there’s a world of opportunity,
swipe your credit card & hope will be found..
It’s not just the ads around me,
not the lure of a half-price sale,
there’s something decrepit inside me
that hungers for just one more thing for myself…
Rescue me from mega-superstores, super-sellout-sales, and blind accumulation,
Rescue me from “bigger one next year”, up-grading, super-sizing, ego-inflation,
Rescue me from advertising’s lure, the hunger to be cool, and buying for the label,
Rescue me from consumer cathedrals, western excess, and self-gratification.
Rescue me from retail therapy…
