lyrics

We’ve got a to-die-for deal.
Made especially for you.
It really is quite the deal.
Buy now and get not one, but two.
You can’t pass it up.

Two chains for the price of one.
You won’t pass it up.
Consider that a threat.

If humans are born free
but everywhere they are in chains,
those chains have to come from somewhere.

That’s where I come in.
I’m a leader in the chain industry.
And I only presciently recognize and meet a pressing need.
Don’t blame me for my philanthropic deed.
I’m just overseeing what is sold.
I answer only to the Market.
And the Market beckons.

You need chains.
I have chains.

It is often safer
to be in chains
than to be free,
those chains still have to come from somewhere.

That’s where I come in.
I work in the chain industry.
And I only sell different
styles, and fashions, and colors, and brands of chains
to people like you and me.
Don’t blame me for making a living.
I’m just doing what I’m told.
I answer only to corporate.
They give me stock investment.

You need chains!
You just haven’t developed the skills to see it yet.
Chains of freedom.

You need chains!
You just haven’t developed the knowledge to know it yet.
Chains of freedom.

Twice as much freedom for the price of half.
A to-die-for deal made on your behalf.

And, guess what—
it’s your lucky day.
If you buy now,
we’ll also throw in two locks.
Useful, to keep disobedient workers on the clock
and those inefficient unions at bay.

We can’t ensure a lifetime guarantee.
But if your workers break their chains,
we’ll be here to replace them any day.
Of course at a fee.
We do nothing for no pay.
As much as we like doing good,
what we like infinitely more is money.
(After all, anything is infinity greater than zero.
And profit’s at the absolute top of our list.)

Twice as much freedom for the price of half.
A to-die-for deal made on your behalf.

Chains of freedom.

Here comes the waiter
with your final meal.
No need to tip.
This is the end of your trip.
And in just a moment
you’ll need it.

Get out your wallet
Prepare yourself
for a true to-die-for deal.
