Consider the Source

Lyrics for Consider the Source

I don't think about what I can't see, it don't count if it ain't staring at me. Little choices I cannot recall, get it quick or not at all. Every bargain has a hidden cost: What was saved? What was lost? Forty color-ways and free returns: Where's it made? What'd they earn? Is it enough to add to cart with buyer's remorse? Well if you don't know where to start, consider the source. What becomes of what I throw away? Broken cord, takeout tray, leaky battery and shattered screen, spilling ink I can't clean. Is it too much to be undone, too late to change course? Before condemning anyone, consider the source. I set the table for an easy meal, I don't mind what I can't feel: Tired turkey in a crowded cage, he can't peck, he can't rage. Little choices and the way they spread, Who must starve so we'd be fed? I don't think about what I can't see, but now that bird won't stop staring at me. I tap my heart before I dine, but quickly divorce from all your agony down the line, and all I endorse. Is it enough to add to cart with buyer's remorse? Well if you don't know where to start, consider the source.
