"Shopping" adalah lagu yang kuat dan penuh kritik dari duo pop elektronik Pet Shop Boys. Lirik yang tajam dan cerdas menyoroti budaya konsumerisme yang merajalela dan eksploitasi kekuasaan. Lagu ini mengeksplorasi cara-cara korup di mana sejarah dan sumber daya dibeli dan dijual untuk keuntungan pribadi, meninggalkan orang-orang biasa dengan kerugian.
Shopping Lyrics
Pet Shop Boys
We're buying and selling your history
How we go about it is no mystery
We check it with the city, then change the law
Are you looking forward?
Now you want some more
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
It's easy when you got all the information
Inside help, no investigation
(No investigation, investigation)
No questions in the house, no give and take
There's a big bang in the city
We're all on the make
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
Our gain is your loss, that's the price you pay
I heard it in the House of Commons: everything's for sale
We're shopping
We're shopping
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
(We're shopping
We're shopping
We're shopping
We're shopping
We're shopping)
How we go about it is no mystery
We check it with the city, then change the law
Are you looking forward?
Now you want some more
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
It's easy when you got all the information
Inside help, no investigation
(No investigation, investigation)
No questions in the house, no give and take
There's a big bang in the city
We're all on the make
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
Our gain is your loss, that's the price you pay
I heard it in the House of Commons: everything's for sale
We're shopping
We're shopping
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping
(We're shopping
We're shopping
We're shopping
We're shopping
We're shopping)
