Pretty Wrapping Paper
Verse 1
Gifts given at Christmas
Wrapped in pretty paper
Torn off in a moment
Discarded and wasted
Verse 2
We decorate ourselves
In a very similar way
Making ourselves look pretty
Changing every day
Chorus
So the wheels of commercialism
Spin and spin and spin
As long as we keep spending
Recession will not begin
Verse 3
We wrap ourselves in nice cars
With all the latest features
Then throw them away
In just a few years
Verse 4
Gone are the days
Of building a house
That you live in
For many many years
Chorus
So the wheels of commercialism
Spin and spin and spin
As long as we keep spending
Recession will not begin
Verse 5
Everything we buy
Is driven by fads and trends
Dictated by media
So commercialism never ends
Chorus
So the wheels of commercialism
Spin and spin and spin
As long as we keep spending
Recession will not begin
