Oh, a few choice lines from Crass's "But Now, Pay As You Go":
"Brushed chrome shit, plastic crap,
My life and my vision is worth more than that.
Plate glass ghetto, shopping spree,
I'm no fucking commodity.
Lusting for objects, white wall refrigerator.
Cut off your fingers and buy a vibrator.
Get them while it lasts, your time is running out.
A new mink for christmas, that's what life's about.
A new tank, a new bomb, awaits you in the store.
Is life all that shallow that you're reaching out for more?
Start planning now for a family plot.
A satin-lined bunker where your corpses can rot.
Well there's nothing for sale here, no day-glo gore.
And I ain't no waxed-up showroom floor whore.
I don't need no carrots dangled in front of my eyes.
Man made pre-fab, polyester lies."

I guess this was a collective effort. Gender considerations are
interesting in the context of such songs as Berkertex Bribe and
the very brilliant Big Man.
