Madison Avenue |
| Pretty pictures in your favorite magazines |
| span the distance between you and Mr Clean (?) |
| You can take part in the All-American dream |
| just fill your house up with a million |
| products you don’t need. |
| You don’t ever have to use them. |
| Buying is all that’s asked of you. |
| But if it’s so Goddamn incredible |
| you can’t believe it’s true |
| it’s Madison Avenue |
| Make it all commercial |
| there ain’t nothin' folks won’t buy |
| New fuel to fire up the monsters of Free Enterprise |
| Gizmos and gadgets, batteries to make them run |
| Just give your check up at the first of every month |
| And don’t wake up to the uselessness |
| 'till your whole life is overdue. |
| 'Cause if it’s so Goddamn incredible |
| you can’t believe it’s true |
| it’s Madison Avenue |
| They can sell sand to a man livin' in the desert. |
| They can sell tuna to the chicken of the sea… |
| You are surrounded and confounded and |
| dumbfounded by the happenings yes it’s true |
| it’s Madison Avenue |
