For all of you last-minute shoppers, crazed to find that special gift for that special someone who has everything, this one’s for you!
It comes from the brilliantly sardonic San Francisco-based rock band, Primus, creators of the ‘South Park’ theme song.
Here are the lyrics:
Primus:
“Eternal Consumption Engine”
Ohh I like it
Ohh man I like it
I like it,
I think I’m gonna like it
I like it,
I think I’m gonna like it
I like it,
I really really like it
I think I’m gonna buy
cause I really really like it
Sell me something
Sell me something
Ohh I like it, I really really like it
I like it,
I really really like it
I like it,
I think I’m gonna buy it
I think I’m gonna buy
cause I really really like it
Eternal Consumption Engine
Here in the USA
Eternal Consumption Engine
Sure do like to spend our pay
Eternal Consumption Engine
More make it more I’ll buy
Eternal Consumption Engine
Slangin’ out the slices of American Pie
Eternal Consumption Engine
Every time I get a little bit bored
Eternal Consumption Engine
Head to the Wally-Mart store
Eternal Consumption Engine
Livin’ high on the greasy hog
Eternal Consumption Engine
As long as they don’t deport my job
Eternal Consumption Engine
Cause Everything’s is made in China
Eternal Consumption Engine
Everything nowadays is made in China
Eternal Consumption Engine
Eternal Consumption Engine
Eternal Consumption Engine
Eternal Consumption Engine
Eternal Consumption Engine
Eternal Consumption Engine
Eternal Consumption Engine
Eternal Consumption Engine
(Everything’s made in China)
Eternal Consumption Engine
(Everything’s made in China)
Eternal Consumption Engine
(Everything’s made in China)
Eternal Consumption Engine
(Everything’s made in China)
Eternal Consumption Engine
Everything’s made in China
Everything’s made in China
Everything’s made in China
Everything nowadays is made in China

Oh, now I get it!
First I viewed the clip and listened to the music, the lyrics of which were incomprehensible to me, and wondered what it had to do with Alexandria’s terrific analysis. Then I scrolled down and saw the lyrics and it made perfect sense. I’ll do a redo.
