The Consumer

A
The Consumer they call us, we're the people that buy
                              E
While everyone is out to sell some kind of merchandise
A                                                   D
We run to the boss and tell 'Em, we need a bit more gold
A                                          E              A
And some tax deductions later and we still wind up in the hole

A
Oh yes we are the people runnin in the race
                              E
Buying up the bargains at the old market place
A                                                  D
Another sale on something, we'll buy it while it's hot
              A               E              A
Save a lot of money, spending money we don't got
D                A               E              A
We save a lot of money, spending money we don't got

A
The Consumer they call us we always get a fair shake
                                          E
We buy a fridge that doesn't freeze and a stove that doesn't bake
A                                                      D
We can't buy nothing lasting, unless we get a raise in pay
                          A                        E         A
And they'd only charge us more for the things that cost less today
A
The Consumer they call us, we're fussy what we eat
                                         E
We look at the price of T bone steak and buy hamburg meat
A                                                   D
And all those fancy packages, we take down from the shelf
A                                                     E               A
Their always full of good fresh air, when they're not full of nothing else

A
Oh yes we are the people running in the race
                           E
Buy up the bargains at the old market place
A                                                  D
Another sale on something, we'll buy it while it's hot
                  A               E              A
And save a lot of money, spending money we don't got
D                A               E              A
We save a lot of money, spending money we don't got

A
The Consumer they call us, when a man comes to the door
                                       E
To give us a deal on a vacuum, when we buy a rug for the floor
A                                                  D
And how we pay the finance when the monthly bills arrive
A                                  E                    A
They just send down the bailiff to repossess the car we drive
A
The Consumer is what they call us, we're always deep in debt
                                          E
From buying drawers in discount stores to fixin tv sets
A                                                D
We go to the bank for money and sign for another loan
A
And pray that the Lord doesn't see us stop
   E              A
in tavern halfway home

A
Oh yes we are the people runnin in the race
                           E
Buy up the bargains in the old market place
A                                                  D
Another sale on something, we'll buy it while it's hot
              A               E              A
Save a lot of money, spending money we don't got
D                A               E              A
We save a lot of money, spending money we don't got
