lyrics

I got lost in a benetton store
I didn’t know where I was any more
All day long I wandered around, took the escalator up and down
Everyone I saw there was suitably diverse, but mostly they looked just the same
I got lost in a benetton store
And I don’t like bright green any more

I got bored in a chatroom today
I couldn’t think of a damn thing to say
But I stayed online for one more hour, mesmerized by the buying power
Now I’m getting e-mails from amazon dot com that are targeted and personalized
I got bored in a chatroom today
After 35 I forgot how to play

I lost my mind in starbucks today
I couldn’t decide between mocha and latte
Now I can’t remember what I got, but it had chocolate sprinkles and a flavor shot
And I’m supposed to feel like I was on safari ‘cause the beans were from East Africa
I lost my mind in starbucks today
And to top it all off I overpaid

Me perdí en El Corte Ingles
Tienen rebajas casi cada mes
Queria comprar un buen pantalón
Para vestirme cuando como jamón
Pero me convencieron comprar un pantalón pirata
Como si fuera un niño
Me perdí en El Corte Ingles
Donde cada hora parece un mes

There’s too many choices and too many voices
Telling me I’m a consuming machine

So I sold this song to a benetton store
