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 [bad word] of all
