lyrics

Once there lived a humble nun
Who never wanted anything or anyone
She forsook all luxury
All in the name of Christianity
Then there came a fateful day
She didn't want to pray
They said she'd lost her way
Now she feels a feeling strange
And deep inside a change
Comes rising up

She wants to buy stuff
She wants to buy A and B and C
She wants to buy X and Y and Z
She wants to buy stuff
Sometimes times can get so tough
And sometimes life can get so rough
So when the Lord is not enough
You gotta buy stuff

So she called her friend the monk
He too was in a funk for the past several months
She, she asked him what to do
He said he wished he knew
He's yearning too

He wants to buy stuff
He wants to buy A and B and C
He wants to buy X and Y and Z
He wants to buy stuff
Sometimes times can get so tough
And sometimes life can get so rough
So when the Buddha's not enough
You gotta buy stuff

They left their respective cloisters
And the world became their oyster
No more did asceticism rule their lives
They found joy and self expression
In material possessions
Everybody join your hands with mine and sing

I wanna buy stuff
I wanna buy A and B and C
I wanna buy X and Y and Z
I wanna buy stuff
Sometimes times can get so tough
And sometimes life can get so rough
So when the world is not enough
You gotta buy stuff

We wanna buy stuff
We wanna buy A and B and C
We wanna buy X and Y and Z
We wanna buy stuff
Sometimes times can get so tough
And sometimes life can get so rough
When faith alone is not enough
You gotta buy stuff
