LyricMeaning

The Consumer
Stompin' Tom Connors

The Consumer they call us

We're the people that buy

Well everyone else is out to sell some kind of merchandise

We run to the boss and tell 'em we need a bit more gold

Some tax deductions later and we still wind up in the hole


Oh yes we are the people running in the race

Buying up the bargains in the ol' marketplace

Another sale on something, we'll buy it while it's hot

Save a lot of money spending money we don't got

We Save a lot of money spending money we don't got


The Consumer they call us

We always get a fair shake

We buy a fridge that doesn't freeze and a stove that doesn't bake

We can't buy nothing lasting unless we get that raise in pay

And they'd only charge us more for the things that cost less today


The Consumer they call us

We're fussy what we eat

We look at the price of t-bone steak and buy hamburg meat

And all those fancy packages we take down from the shelf

They're always full of good fresh air when they're full of nothing else


Oh yes we are the people running in the race

Buying up the bargains in the ol' marketplace

Another sale on something, we'll buy it while it's hot

Save a lot of money spending money we don't got

We Save a lot of money spending money we don't got


The Consumer they call us

When the man comes in the door

To give us a deal on a vaccume when we buy a rug for the floor

And how do we pay the finance when the monthly bills arrive

They just send down the bailiff to reposes the car we drive


The consumer is what they call us, we're always deep in debt

From buying drawers in Discount stores to fixin' the tv set

We go to the bank for the money and sign for another loan

And hope the lord doesn't see us stop in the tavern halfway home


Oh yes we are the people running in the race

Buying up the bargains in the ol' marketplace

Another sale on something, we'll buy it while it's hot

Save a lot of money spending money we don't got

We Save a lot of money spending money we don't got
