50's Radio Commercial


PRESENTING:

"Technological Habits."

Paid in part by the subliminal masses.

 

(OFF MIC)

"We could start by listing all the reasons why we can't have this.

For instance,

Class.

Seperates us in a uniform fashion as facist models mold the molecular,

Condensing the present into something more... delectable.

After all, this is family broadcasting at its finest..."

 

(ON MIC)

"...Never miss another moment of rich people madness!

This one is hear to remind us, that we...

CAN HAVE THIS!

That is, if we practice making payments early.

Surely your credit score could not fund a war over seas.

This is the American Dream,

But just between you and me,

 

I spy with my little eye,

klansmen with a cross raised high,

A president's arm sticking out and up.

I think I can say this for all of us,

Shits kinda fucked up.

 

So come on down to your local liquor store and repent!

There's a man selling bibles who will tell you what I meant.

We are having a hells bent have off sale,

At the renegade under the bridge.

If you want to have fun...

Don't bring your kids.

 

THIS JUST IN!

THIS JUST IN!

 

FEMA camps are just the beginning,

The Olympics are not just for winning,

If we could sell more sugar we would be swimming!

But after all this is just the beginning.

 

What does it take to end and endless list of what's up and what's next?

What's left, but this reacurring dream stuck inside your head?"
