What will Amazon do once it\\u2019s eaten every other business, automated every process, and none of us have any money to buy their products? To find out, musician Oliver Ackermann (A Place To Bury Strangers) interviews Stacy Mitchell, co-director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, a national research and advocacy organization that fights corporate control and works to build thriving, equitable communities. She inspires him to create a new song \\u2018Always Gonna Be The Same\\u2019.

\\n

I could spin a story that would make you freak

\\n

But I\\u2019m not thinking of ways to manipulate you - I don\\u2019t hate you

\\n

I just want you to enjoy your life

\\n

And I hope you\\u2019re a really good potato - Kato

\\n

I don\\u2019t wanna live in a stupid world

\\n

I don\\u2019t wanna live under their control

\\n

I don\\u2019t wanna buy all their useless shit

\\n

That should just be thrown in a giant pit

\\n

I don\\u2019t wanna be hooked on all these drugs

\\n

Pushed to fund someone's expensive rugs

\\n

I just wanna live and have some fun

\\n

I don\\u2019t need to feel like I have won

\\n

Cuz it\\u2019s gross

\\n

They\\u2019re lying to our faces

\\n

It\\u2019s a show

\\n

They stripped away their regulations

\\n

What we don\\u2019t know

\\n

Is that they multiplied their operations

\\n

So if we don\\u2019t vote

\\n

Then its always gonna be the same

\\n

Someone\\u2019s gotta play the adult in the room - with a broom

\\n

We can\\u2019t let these greedy fuckers take another dime - waste of time

\\n

I would rather be out on vacation - in another nation

\\n

But we seem to be living with some bad potatoes - Kato

\\n

I don\\u2019t wanna live in their stupid world

\\n

I don\\u2019t wanna live under their control

\\n

I don\\u2019t wanna buy all this useless shit

\\n

That should just be thrown in a giant pit

\\n

I don\\u2019t wanna be hooked on all their drugs

\\n

Pushed to fund someone's expensive rugs

\\n

I just wanna help out my fellow man

\\n

Any fucking way that I can

\\n

Cuz it\\u2019s gross

\\n

They\\u2019re lying to our faces

\\n

And it\\u2019s low

\\n

They bought a house with our donations

\\n

What we don\\u2019t know

\\n

Is that they buried all the allegations

\\n

So if we don\\u2019t vote

\\n

Then its always gonna be the same
