From Vanity To Utility lyrics

All this external affluence Put in place to distract you from reality Superfluous to our needs It's the way the powers maintain The status quo class alignment Stratification of the rich and the poor Based on spending power Superfluous to our needs It's the way the powers maintain The status quo class alignment Stratification of the rich and the poor Based on spending power They'll distract you (from vanity to utility) All this external affluence Put in place to distract you from reality Superfluous to our needs It's the way the powers Maintain the status quo We need to progress From vanity to utility It's the way the world That must be brought back to us It's the way the world That must be brought back
