Remastered by Greg DiCrosta, GregDiCrosta.com 2022

lyrics

Verse 1: Saw a beer commercial today
For some brand whose name I forgot
With some 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's found 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
Our product is the best"

I just can't shake my disbelief
At the crap that's on TV
Professional video thieves
Wield their power to deceive

Pop meets psych freakout. ... more
