G D
He was standing there alone with a phone and his own conversation
D7 G C G
Carbonation, no relation to the general tone - if you get my meaning
G G7
Nothing that he said was worth one thin dime
C Cm
But the volume was prime time
D7 G Am7 D G
He was everybody’s buddy, but nobody was home - call screening
G D
If he’s so great, why does he need to advertise?
D7 G
If the product satisfies, then off the shelf it flies
C G
The whole world buys
G G7
If a million other stores sell the same damn thing
Am7
No wonder such a jingle is hard to sing
D D7 G
If he’s so great, why does he need to advertise?
Eve wasn’t anybody’s stereotype, no Daddy’s little girl
she didn't follow anyone elses leadin’- don’t open the door
This is now, that was then. We
can’t even label it me-ness envy
Call it what you want to - nobody’s living in Eden anymore
If she's so great, why does she need to advertise?
didn’t she dazzle already the ears and eyes?
as the garden dies
The serpent in the garden isn't better off dead
if the innocent folks are interested
If she's so great, why does she need to advertise?
If I hung some bling-a-ling on any old thing, would you be impressed?
Or would you praise me to my face, then prattle with the cattle
who know what you know?
I just want to open the same old door
some way that it’s never been opened before
and stand up straight in the heat of battle
Look out below
But if I’m so great why do I need to advertise?
My spotlight in the sky - it never fails to rise
hard on the eyes
If I was really such hot stuff
Word of mouth would be good enough
If I’m so great why do I need to advertise?

Freeway

On the freeway - our meeting place
sitting safe inside my space
and we have to bear the.., share the ..., hold up an eagle eye
On the freeway, wave hello
and bye bye as by and by we go
along with millions of others, one anothers bygone, gone by
there's a destination for me to find
and I deserve a piece for my peace of mind
it's just a little further down the double line
I only want my fair share.
on the freeway
even food is fast
then pay the gas price
gonna get some gas
while others sit in back getting driven with their wine and cheese
I stayed alert
I bought insurance
No adventures
against the currents
I've been paying my dues while they've been living their life of ease
Now I demand justice and my peace of mind
from the daily drive and the daily grind
it's just a little further down the double line
I only want my fair share.
Bent fenders - on the tar
bumper cars don't get too far
So we're just passing each other, gas passing on
I see time, I time my seeing
human movin', not a human being
human movin, movin human, gloom and doomin', automaton
hungry for love, hungry all the time
True love is waiting for me to find
it's just a little further down the double line
I only want my fair share.

>>>Happy Boop-Boop-Boop to you, happy Boop-Boop-Boop to you
Happy Boop-Boop-Boop, happy Boop-Boop-Boop
Happy Boop-Boop-Boop to you
It’s a special day for you, for no one else but you
But we’ll play along, singing you this song:
Happy Boop-Boop-Boop to you
My Aunt Lizzie – she is Dutch. No one likes her very much
‘Cause her earlobes swell and her kisses smell. She is greasy to the touch.
But on each September nine, it’s Aunt Lizzie’s birthday time
We sing birthday songs, but all along
we are thinking in our minds >>>
Jane and Jimmy Spears - married fourteen-hundred years
At least it seems that way, ‘cause they fight all day
He gets angry, she gets tears
But each year, on April three, they have an anniversary
And to celebrate, they call off the hate
Treat each other civilly. So >>>
Where were you, can you remember, on the last night of December?
Drinking beer and wine with all mankind, of which you are a member
New Year’s Day, all that had changed was that your mind got rearranged
You had laughed and played on a holiday
that is meaningless and strange >>>
-1983
