about

'Little Commodity' is a confrontation of a destructive, passively violent conditioning, fed through consumption culture that commodifies everything, including people. The song addresses everything from human sex-trafficking to the attention economy, to smartphone culture, to the irony of commodifying oneself in act of confronting all of this.

lyrics

(Verse 1)
Where do my goods come from and where do they go?
As I consume my old sense of the known
I sedate myself with a sensory bone
I'm a pooch that's loose to the rules I follow
Can't break them though so I take what's told
as a truth, profuse in the tales I am sold
Fake the role that I feel is all
that I crave to be in this world I own
My own infinite needs to be catered for,
sake of ease that I earned and bought
To insane degrees, concerns I ignore
'cos I'm trained and free to obey the law
I'm free to obey the law

(Chorus)
I'm a little commodity
A little commodity,
receiving doggy treats,
receiving liberty

(Verse 2)
My money's reaped and spent for slavery
Congolese children choose their destiny
not a pest to me, that's just industry
no death's in vain for my accessories
It's a yes from me, not my decision
I persist with the only known vision
my ancestry left me - a fascistic division,
I don't see
Beyond the dream of sovereignty,
chowed down like pedigree
Express a sense of me through other's expertise,
goods and services tailored to my greed
Ignorance festers, blessedly
entitlement pressing, restlessly
degraded and demeaned, but I'm appeased
so I'm free
to commit to a lie I lead
My leaders secure their feed,
killing child refugees,
made by foreign policy

(Chorus)
I'm a little commodity
A little commodity,
receiving doggy treats,
receiving liberty

(Verse 3)
Could create my own reality but I'll buy mine instead
Struggle to the top before a sudden timely dread
that everything is meaningless, 'cos one day I'll be dead
and everything I've worked for is a bullet in the head
