The Reoccurring Dream

This is the reoccurring dream
Born in the dreary gap between
What we have now
And what we wish we could have
More fulfilling and less frustratingOut of the envy in our eyes

Radiant! Gleaming us down
From screens and pages
Oh, glamour! Before your very eyes!Isn't it true, isn't it true?
Good question! I know!
Who cares?

If you had this, if you had thatLatest styles and colors
If we had that for us
Mmm!
Wouldn't it be fabulous?If you had that house, car, bottle, jar
Your lovers would look like movie stars
Movie stars, movie starsOrder your youth secrets of the stars
Call now! Just $9.99!Our discontent is their delight
They offer relief for the purchased price
Love in a bottle, love on four wheels
Is that our new car, Charles?Isn't it true, isn't it true?
We guarantee it

See here, they sell you
