Citizen Fish

Swindon town going down
Another division today
With the introduction of 'Mondex' cards
Personality on display
Out with those tiresome coins and notes
It's a credit card status mirror to show
You're a flexible reliable upbeat type
Choosing to follow the 'optional' hype

Believe consume then pay
Believe consume then pay

Here it all is to choose or refuse
All your statistics, the portable you
Name and number, size and amount
Of transferable credit in your bank account
Swindon town is being taken down
The disinformation highway
Consumer credibility testing ground
Believe consume then pay

Believe consume then pay
Believe consume then pay

The 'optional' tag is original stance
You don't have to do it, but now here's your chance
Gradually the rich and social elite
Will be forcing the standards for us all to meet
And once reported to be a success
By those who do the consumer tests
It'll be standard procedure across the nation
Like satellite dishes - infatuation

Gimmy, gimmy, gimmy more of it now
Believe consume then pay
Believe consume then pay

Novelty rat race, acceleration
Into a future with all hesitation
Set aside by the fear of alienation
From society - It's all connotation
It's all connotation

You are what you carry on plastic cards
And plastic cards are carrying you
When all you contain and all that you are
Is lost - Well what will you do?

But we refuse to play
But we refuse to play - Create a false desire then feed it
But we refuse to play - Create a false desire then feed it
But we refuse to play - Create a false desire then feed it
Create a false desire then feed it
Create a false desire then feed it
