Labels
Which style of clothes we choose to wear
Are those designer labels on show there?
Or supermarket jeans with matching top
Did that bag come from an online shop?
Got to dress-up that look, make it “you”
Designer a must, branded training shoe
Myriad of gadgets await our pleasure
How exactly to enjoy our leisure?
Binned phone, new model pride of place
How is it better, this future we embrace?
Computers, pads, tablets, music storage devices
Plus the rest, of course, all at premium brand prices
Only one way to be totally able
Free yourself from any kind of label
We used to buy a car for what it did
A choice that brand awareness then undid
If it doesn’t wear the proper badge it’s tragic
Of course, it’s nice to have nice things, magic
Buying into designer experience is only a sham
For sure an Emperor’s New Clothes kind of scam
What is your job, who is your circle?
How to exist in the world most commercial?
How is your accent, are you eloquent enough?
Are you geeky or perhaps considered hot stuff?
Wearing shades in winter only for the look
Posting to impress to excess on facebook
Only one way to be totally able
Free yourself from any kind of label
Look within for the answers to our life
Chasing labels the cause of so much strife
Look within for the answer always been inside
Let intuition now be our eternal guide
Happiness our birthright, to be free of
Chasing labels and just feeling the love

The more that jeans will cost you
The longer they will last
The makers and retailers
Don't lie, make profits vast
I bought mine at a top jean shop
They said they'd last forever
Six months they've now got holes galore
(They lied, made profits vast...)
