Buying Lists
A parody of Toxicity by System Of A Down
A cautionary tale about the false economy of purchased email lists, where shortcut-chasing marketers discover that broker leads deliver only spam traps, hard bounces, and shattered sender reputation. The song unpacks the permission and list hygiene failures that turn "easy growth" into deliverability disaster.

Verse
Marketers chasing shortcuts, desperate tempo
Looking at lists like they’re gold in a backroom shelf
Pre-Chorus
Buying lists as a pastime activity
The deliverability, what a pity, what a pity
Chorus
Why—what do you own, the world?
How do you own that data, data?
Now, somewhere between the broken silence
Broken silence and sleep
Somewhere between the broken silence and sleep
Pity, pity, pity
Verse
More “leads” from a broker, fake saviors
Bounce-rate tragedies caught in the headlights of a block
Pre-Chorus
Buying lists as a pastime activity
The deliverability, what a pity, what a pity
Chorus
Why—what do you own, the world?
How do you own that data, data?
Now, somewhere between the broken silence
Broken silence and sleep
Somewhere between the broken silence and sleep
Pity, pity, pity
Chorus
Why—what do you own, the world?
How do you own that data?
Now, somewhere between the broken silence
Broken silence and sleep
Somewhere between the broken silence and sleep
Pity, pity, pity
Outro
When I became the sun, I shone truth on their false starts
When I became the sun, I shone truth on their false starts
