I know brother they tell you one thing And I know sister they sell you another Distract you with baubles and glitter Their taunts and subliminal whispers Keep you hungry and apart Consuming your heart
There’s a mirror in the next room Bending all that you see There’s a mirror in the next room With your identity If only you can try it You know you‘ve got to buy it To have everything If only you can buy it You know you‘ve got to try it To have everything That’s how they sell you
I know mother they give you with one hand And I know father they take it with two Enslaving your deepest desires With shining things you can’t acquire Leave you needy and un-whole Consuming your soul
There’s a mirror in the next room Bending all that you see There’s a mirror in the next room With your identity If only you can try it You know you‘ve got to buy it To have everything If only you can buy it You know you‘ve got to try it To have everything That’s how they sell you
Telling you that you feel the pauper Telling you that your feeling scared Telling you that you just don’t measure Telling you that you need repair
That’s how they sell you
Mirror Mirror on the wall The lure of illusion’s my fall You are the cruelest of all
