Yes, we are weapons of mass comsumption.

Theme: Reality vs The Rich and the Famous
In the song shes saying how, she'll take off her clothes to get famous and how being thin and plastic makes your life "fuckin fantastic". Shes stating that being famous is the only thing people care about these days, and not only being famous but to be popular or to be invited to the latest parties. She said were weapons of mass consumption because were not only buying our favorite shoes and our necessities, but were buying what the media is feeding us. She doesn't know whats right anymore, and whats normal. Everything is so fake, and the media presents it as being the road down to "the good life". Shes trying to say that nowadays we leave out all the important values life serves us, and is replaced with "fuckloads of diamonds". We need to start seeing the reality behind the Rich and the Famous and not just what it has to offer. I dont think she is only speaking for herself when she wrote this song, but all the less traveled minds that are lost in difference between being real to being fake. I dont think anyone knows what normal is anymore, the motto " If you can't beat them, join them" is being taken to a whole new level. When she sings "its not my fault it’s how I’m programmed to function" Shes right! We are all programmed to be a certain way these days, its like the media built plastic walls surrounding us, trapping us from the unique of the world that struggles to face us everyday. What are they scared of? That maybe one day we might start believing that all the freaky people bring the beauty to the world. We are not robots, but if one thing we are weapons of mass consumption. The world needs a reality check.
