Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Advertising song lyrics )
BUY, BUY, BUY
Copyright © 2001 - mickterry.com

If only my car was newer,
my house was so much bigger,
my beer was a little bit hipper,
then I would have real friends.
If only my zits were fewer,
my bad breath gone away, ...
If only my sink was cleaner,
then I would be okay.

It seems a little bit funny,
no, really, it seems more sad,
but I've placed my whole life's happiness
on what I've seen in ads:
On what I've been told is better,
on what I've been told I need.
And unless I buy just what I'm told,
I won't ever have esteem.

    BUY, BUY, BUY:
    you know it's good for the economy.
    BUY, BUY, BUY:
    'though you really don't want or need.

If only my teeth were whiter,
my chest was so much bigger,
my abs were a little bit flatter,
I might be happy then.
If only my thighs were tighter,
my hair a different shade, ...
If only my butt was smaller,
then I would have it made.

It seems a little bit funny,
no, really, it seems more sad,
but I've placed my whole life's happiness
on what I've never had:
On what I've been told is better,
on what I've been told is right.
And unless I buy just what I'm told,
I can't even sleep at night.
