This is business economics in a nursery rhyme

She sells seashells on a seashore
她在海濱上賣著貝殼。241Please respect copyright.PENANADT9Bh6YpCP
But the value of these shells will fall
但是這些貝殼的價錢一定會下跌241Please respect copyright.PENANAb1ICSoYV2Y
Due to the laws of supply and demand
--根據供需法則,241Please respect copyright.PENANAiL9QaHbwQd
No one wants to buy shells 'cause there's loads on the sand
沒有人想要買這些貝殼因為貝殼就躺在沙灘上。
Step one, you must create a sense of scarcity241Please respect copyright.PENANAX70Mxyn7gY
Shells will sell much better if the people think they're rare, you see241Please respect copyright.PENANAnqIbSfd6lW
Bare with me, take as many shells as you can find and hide 'em241Please respect copyright.PENANAciQp42cSw3
On an island stockpile 'em high until they're rarer than a diamond
第一步,你要利用飢餓行銷。
貝殼會比你想像中的還要值錢--如果人們覺得貝殼是很稀有的東西。
盡你可能的找到所有的貝殼,然後把它們藏起來。
在一座島上把它們好好的堆疊起來,直到這些貝殼像是鑽石一樣值錢。
Step two, you gotta make the people think that they want 'em241Please respect copyright.PENANAs9SKbJLpfC
Really want 'em, really fuckin want 'em241Please respect copyright.PENANAn3ascVG9pp
Hit 'em like Bronson241Please respect copyright.PENANA4UILeaz77T
Influencers, product placement, featured prime time entertainment241Please respect copyright.PENANAP9Lud3Xuc8
If you haven't got a shell then you're just a fucking wasteman
第二步,你要讓人們自發的想要擁有這些貝殼。
很想要--很她媽的想要這些貝殼。
像是經營"布朗森"那樣(注一)
公眾人物、置入性行銷、在黃金時段的娛樂。
如果你還沒有一個貝殼,你就是一個廢物。
Three, it's monopoly, invest inside some property241Please respect copyright.PENANADWVh0gfaea

"Shells must sell", that will be your new philosophy241Please respect copyright.PENANAgYLryHJlTw
Swallow all your morals, they're a poor man's quality
第三步,你要把它做成一個壟斷企業,用一些資產投資在這企業之中。
展開一個企業,做出一個商標,妥善的經營它。
"要賣出盡可能多的貝殼",這會變成你的新生活準則。
吞下你那良知吧,那只不過是窮人的特質罷了。
Four, expand, expand, expand241Please respect copyright.PENANANlCykz9888
Clear forest, make land, fresh blood on hand
第四步,擴展、擴展、擴展。
掃蕩森林、開闢土地、鮮血在手上流淌。
Five, why just shells?241Please respect copyright.PENANAbU9ENKDlWQ
Why limit your self? She sells seashells, sell oil as well!
第五步,為甚麼只賣貝殼?
為甚麼要限制自己?她賣著貝殼,她還賣著石油!
Six, sell guns, sell stocks, sell diamonds,sell rocks
Sell water to a fish, sell the time to a clock
第六步,賣槍、賣股票、賣鑽石、賣石頭,你甚麼都賣。
把水賣給魚,把時間賣給時鐘。
Seven, press on the gas, take your foot off the brakes241Please respect copyright.PENANAYY0vKy1l2x
Run to be the president of the United States
第七步,大力踩下油門,把腳從煞車上拿下來。

Now the truth is overrated, tell lies out the gate
第八步,夥計,來一個大大的笑容,一個大大的揮手。
現在事實已經超乎預期了,將謊言直接向外界宣布吧。
Nine, Polarise the people, controversy is the game241Please respect copyright.PENANAhNuDhJG9hU
It don't matter if they hate you if they all say your name
第九步,將人們兩極化,這場遊戲的意義已經從金錢變成了爭議。
他們都在說著你的名字時,他們恨你與否都已經不重要了。
Ten, the world is yours241Please respect copyright.PENANAeOsnpR7jkR
Step out on a stage to a round of applause241Please respect copyright.PENANA4KAlkKIuDb
You're a liar, a cheat, a devil, a whore241Please respect copyright.PENANAUSPzu200NY
And you sell seashells on the seashore
第十步,這整個世界都是你的了。
站出舞台,接受四周的掌聲吧。
你是一個騙子,一個作弊者,一個惡魔,一個婊子。
--在那之外,你在海灘之上賣著貝殼。
Oh rain, rain, rain, rain
喔,外面正在下著雨。241Please respect copyright.PENANAqPAuDfdWoT
A storm, it comes our way
一個風暴即將要到來了。241Please respect copyright.PENANALxtDCqv4Td
And those who rise through distorted lies,poisoning the veins
那些透過扭曲的謊言而成功崛起的人,他們的血管內只剩下毒液。241Please respect copyright.PENANAKH8rBM4GjV
But we like to point the blame, blame, blame, blame
但我們更願意相互指責。241Please respect copyright.PENANA4O6onxytS5

這首歌的音樂很慢,和一般的饒舌也有所區別,但卻很莫名的餘音繞樑,在我的腦中不斷迴旋。
241Please respect copyright.PENANA5YEbom75mZ
而且它指出了一點--資本主義。
241Please respect copyright.PENANAgRGD50Ys5L
現在一切的東西幾乎都是被這樣"名標價碼"了。去星巴克不是為了喝咖啡;買鑽石不是為了......為了......我甚至舉不出鑽石的實際用途--如果將微量的鑽石作為切割機的刀刃的話令當別論;買新的蘋果手機不是為了更好的性能。241Please respect copyright.PENANAN1mnxsZ4gv
241Please respect copyright.PENANAlU0RGYCouG
有人可能會想說:「這些都是買一個"氣氛",或者說,買一個品牌啊!」
241Please respect copyright.PENANAKGjUdj1CEk
甚麼時候一顆透明的礦石和"忠貞不渝的愛情"掛上關係了?甚麼時候每一個節日都有著亂七八糟的促銷活動?甚麼時候坐在星巴克裡用著mac成為了"文青"的象徵?241Please respect copyright.PENANAMLIjCqQRoB
241Please respect copyright.PENANAzUtoB7QDgZ
當這些東西是品牌本身所賦予的時,這些東西還真的有意義嗎?
241Please respect copyright.PENANA2FkN4opqVe
換個說法,被人操縱的情感算是情感嗎?只不過這個"人"並不是特定的某一個人,而是我們整個群體。241Please respect copyright.PENANAElgZhX6XgD
241Please respect copyright.PENANAvVao1ja6go
241Please respect copyright.PENANAnp2RXDtNgF
另外,再說一句,這首歌我最喜歡的片段就是「把水賣給魚,把時間賣給時鐘。」
241Please respect copyright.PENANAICqsXgIkeH
把他們賴以維生的東西抽走,再以高價賣給他們。值得深思。
241Please respect copyright.PENANAO6gZdN01lx
注:布朗森,根據我查到少量的資料,應該是在指英國12~15世紀一個姓氏--這個詞作為名字很常出現,但作為姓氏卻十分的稀少,因此,這個姓氏的人們就顯得格外尊貴。(不確定,但查不到其他資料了。)
