Not very long ago, America introduced Pepsi to the Soviet Union
"You can have it, (you can have it), right now"
"You can have it, (you can have it), right now"
And while it may be just a coincidence, a lot of refreshing changes have taken place, ever since
"It makes your advertising dreams come true"
Pepsi, a generation ahead
But can they really get inside my head?
As long as you keep an open mind
Here they all are
Here they all are
Here they all are
Here they all are
We want: Soaps and cigarrettes
We want: Kleenex and Kotex
We want: Cake mixes and candy
We want: Sunkist and Dole
We want: Cereals and soft drinks
We want: ... and Clairol
We want: Frozen pies and shave creams
We want: Klondike and Dial
We want: Laxatives and beers
We want: Kool-Aid and Clear
Thootpastes and margerines and fruit juices
We want: Hallmark cards
Here they all are
We want: The lotions, the pet foods, the shampoos, the hair dyes
Here they all are
We want: Puddings, margerines, cake mixes
They do harm? (Don't...)
All of which are preffered over all are others
We do have the possibility of stopping this, and as I said the word stopping, I realize that's it
You know if there's any message in my book
Can I finish my story, please? (Yeah, please, go ahead)
Ok. We're fat, we're overfed
Stop, stop building cars, stop buying cars
Eliminate Woolworth's
We don't need the daily newspaper 7 or 8 times everyday
We want: headache remedies in their tins
We don't need the daily newspaper 7 or 8 times everyday
Laxatives in their bottles
7 or 8 times everyday
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
7 or 8 times everyday
We can control the corporations all we have to do is stop buying what it is they're selling
Shave creams, toothpastes and cigarrettes
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
Put in the cereals too
It's very simple, I mean, actually they need us (we want)
And there's this whole campain going on that somehow they're fullfiling a need of ours
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
And they're not
He's a beleagured consumer, a confused consumer
We want: Battered by television
We want: Mutable keys
Assailed by print, we want good clothes
Assaulted by radio
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
We want - We want people who like us
They're... they're just ripping off everybody
So you're philosophical
What would happen if like 50% of the people in this country (we do not want)
If they just said (what!) no
We don't wanna buy... we don't need your cars
We don't need to go to Woolworth's, we don't need your newspapers, your cigarrettes, your coffee, your Coca-Colas
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
We just ain't gonna do it no more
We do not want to smell bad
We just ain't gonna do it no more
We do not want to be ugly
We just ain't gonna do it no more
We want money
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
And if all of the real spiritual religious leaders in this country said: That's really what we gotta do
So you're philosophical
Bite back!
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
Bite back!
The only thing that's gonna solve the problem is to actually stop what it is that's causing it
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
We can control the corporations all we have to do is stop buying what it is they're selling
Bite back!
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
The only thing that's gonna solve the problem is to actually stop what it is that's causing it
Bite
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
Bite back!
Right now. 30 million dollars a day spent in a desperate atempt to buy brands a bit of space in the memory logs of the consumer
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
So you're philosophical
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
This is the restless American economy
Bite
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
It is also economic liberty and once economic liberty is abridged or destroyed all other liberty is abridged or destroyed
"Power over a man's subsistence..." said Alexander Hamilton "... is power over his will."
Bite back!
And it's like an intelectual game to continually ask what the solution is
(Don't...!)
when you're not willing to... to put it into effect. I mean, you're... you're really not
It's scary, it's very frightening
That's what my dad would've call real truth in advertising
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
We have never seen such a thing happen, instead the campain continues to flourish, like a great tree spreading its branches and reaching for the sun
And year after year, rich and - people see to continue to sit down to the earth - in new sales and costumers
(Don't... fuck with me fellas!!)
So you're philosophical
Well, like we say if we can't lick 'em
Join them
Put 'em in a big piece of tape is what we say
Oh
(yeah, you got that wrong it's ok... i think that's fine)
