Lyrics
Wrap myself in the brand names from the West.
Need to look like that to be the best.
Be all you can be, they told me on my TV.
I need the truth but go easy on reality.
Everyday the news comes through.
Into our living rooms, red, green and blue.
Although I close my eyes, throw myself into denial.
I know this to be true.
Chorus:
Then I'm taken to the cold place,
plucked from the warmth of material gain.
And everytime I see it, I don't need to feel it,
but it plays on my mind all the same.
Drive this car, wear these jeans.
A whole new market, focus on the pre-teens.
Tune into cartoons, but watch what's in between.
Hey look I have no spots and my teeth are really clean.
Everyday the news comes through.
Into our living rooms, red, green and blue.
Although I close my eyes, throw myself into denial.
I know this to be true.
Chorus.
