lyrics

VERSE 1: I saw a beer commercial today
For a brand whose name I forgot
With an actor paid straight union rates
to pretend he's what he's not

My TV set blurs truth and lies blaring about the money that I'll save,
If I just sit hypnotized and buy those products I didn't crave

VERSE 2: Her kitchen has an electric range, a relic from the past,
All the other women have microwaves,
She's a new American outcast

She could be cooking a quicker meal,
Think of the time that she could save,
Hubby'd find his roast beef waiting if she had a microwave

BRIDGE: Efficiency, progress, efficiency, progress,
Efficiency, progress, technology, destruction

VERSE 3: Some guy's sayin' he's a scientist
And he worked on the company's tests,
They prove without a shred of doubt,
Their product is the best

I just can't shake my disbelief at the crap that's on TV
Professional psychological thieves use their power to deceive

Pop meets psych freakout. ... more
