[Verse 1]
[G]The Consumer they call us|We're the people that buy|Well everyone else is out to sell some kin[A]d of [D]merchandise|W[G]e run to the boss and tell 'em we [C]need a bit more gold|Some tax deductions lat[G]er and we still wind up in the hole||Oh yes we are the people running in the race|Buying up the bargains in the[A] ol' mar[D]ket[G]place|Another sale on something, we'll buy it wh[C]ile it's hot|Save alot of money [G]spending money we don't got|We Sa[C]ve alot of money [G]spending money we don't got||The Consumer they call us|We always get a fair shake|We buy a fridge that doesn't freeze and a stove tha[A]t does[D]n't bake|We c[G]an't buy nothing lasting unless we get that [C]raise in pay|And they'd only charge us more for the t[G]hings that cost less today||The Consumer they call us|we're fussy what we eat|we look at the price of t-bone steak steak and buy h[A]amburg m[D]eat|And all those fan[G]cy packages we take down from[C] the shelf|They're always full of good fresh air[G] when they're full of nothing else||Oh yes we are the people running in the race|Buying up the bargains in the ol' m[A]arke[D]tpla[G]ce|Another sale on something,
we'll [C]buy it while it's hot|Save alot [G]of money spending money we [D]don't [G]got[C]|We Save alot of [G]money spending money we don[D]'t got[G]||The Consumer they call us|When the man comes in the door|To give us a deal on a vaccume when we buy a [A]rug for the fl[D]oor|And how do we [G]pay the finance when the mo[C]nthly bills arrive|They just send down the ba[G]iliff to rep[D]oses the car we dri[G]ve||The consumer is what they call us, we're always deep in debt|From buying drawers in Discount stores to fixin'[A] the TV[D] set|We[G] go to the bank for the money and si[C]gn for another loan|And hope the lord doesn't see us[G] stop in the tavern halfway home||Oh yes we are the people running in the race|Buying up the bargains in the ol[A]' market[D]pla[G]ce|Another sale on something, we'll buy it[C] while it's hot|Save alot of money spe[G]nding money we don't got[D]|We[G] Save alot of mone[C]y spe[G]nding money we don't got||
