lyrics

Return from work turn on the TV
Where you know that there’s always something to see
When all of your dreams come alive on the screen
You end up believing you need what you see

Relax and have a Coke or a Pepsi
You’ve nothing but options and each one feels good
Open your eyes to visions of paradise
Live from Hollywood

The products they’re selling will make you more beautiful
Buy more I promise the rest of your years
You’ll live like the stars that you see in the movies
With beached perfect smiles and glycerin tears

Our scouts are out searching the nation
For talent exactly like yours, so I say
If you wait to dream like you’ve always dreamed
You’ll be famous one day

You need just a couple of minor enhancements
With fake breasts the world would bow down at your feet
Then you’ll have a mansion the love of the masses
An image that’s perfect. A life that’s complete
We have the technology to make you sing in tune
Without it you’d need to take lessons for years
We’ll teach you to dance and acting is easy
It’s bleached perfect smiles and glycerin tears
