My Favorite Songs Songtext

Come gather round people wherever you advertise And admit that the sixties sells Chryslers and fries And accept it that money don't talk, it just lies If your bottom line is worth savin Then you better start skimmin all the anthems we've known For the stocks, they are exchangin There's somethin happenin here What it is, is an ad for a beer I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way My beer, talkin bout my beer Songs that sell soap and sell cars and sell lifestyles Anthems of freedom now corporate sieg heils Songs that bring back all those sweet memories Thanks, Mitsubishi, and who needs trees? When I'm downsized, lost my health care When I'm feelin sad I simply remember my favorite songs And then I don't feel so Bad about ads and my culture they're taking Bad about products that didn't need making Bad that they're buying the soul of my youth To sell me their shit, well it's slightly uncouth When I'm lonesome, or nostalgic Feel I'm gonna cry I simply remember my favorite songs And then I break down and buy! I'm goin up the country, where a man can be free I'm goin up the country, where a man can be free I'm goin to some place where there's no god damn Pepsi!
