My doctor he told me to stay out of town (buy, buy, buy), he said, "affluenza will get you down" (buy, buy, buy). [Chorus] What did you do in the war, dad? What did you do in the war? Ring up the tills in the High Street, I'm not coming in anymore. [Interlude] | | | | | [Verse 2] There's a price tag on me and there's sick on the floor (buy, buy, buy), we're buying up anything we can't afford (buy, buy, buy). Wherever I go, I keep hearing this voice (buy, buy, buy), saying "choose what you want" but there's so little choice (buy, buy, buy) [Chorus] What did you do in the war, dad? What did you do in the war? Ring up the tills in the High Street, I'm not coming in anymore. [Interlude] | | | * * | * * | | | | | | Give it a rest | | | | | [Verse 3] There's dumb moves behind me and bad debts above (buy, buy, buy), I pawned my affections and still got no love (buy, buy, buy). My heart and my pocket will say it's unfair (buy, buy, buy), I'm unlearning the cost of this laissez-faire (buy, buy, buy). [End-Chorus] What did you do in the war, dad? What did you do in the war? Ring up the tills in the High Street, I'm not coming in anymore. What did you do in the war, dad? What did you do in the war? Ring up the tills in the High Street, I'm not coming in anymore. [Outro] November twenty-three is buy nothing day

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque avec ironie la surconsommation et ses conséquences sur nos vies. Elle met en lumière le paradoxe d'acheter toujours plus tout en se rendant compte que cela n'apporte ni bonheur ni satisfaction. Les paroles font réfléchir sur notre rapport à l'argent et à la consommation, tout en critiquant la pression sociale qui nous pousse à dépenser sans réfléchir. Il est intéressant de noter que ce morceau s'inscrit dans le cadre de la journée du "Buy Nothing Day", un événement qui invite chacun à réfléchir sur ses habitudes de consommation et à prendre conscience de l'impact de nos choix sur la planète. Cette idée de se passer de consommation, même pour une journée, résonne comme un appel à retrouver des valeurs plus authentiques et à privilégier des liens humains plutôt que des possessions matérielles.
