Advertising (In our Times)

To see our lives as others see them

To see our lies also

To our peace of mind

This is that dream that's presented

BUT....This is the dream of our times


"You MUST try it.. You'll like it... then you'll buy it !!!...."


Advertising, it defines our unconscious wants

That rules our insides,

They domineer our private time

Churning out plastic dreams for our plastic times


Oh! How they divide our time

Trying to buy our mind with out of date rhyme

Like an angler without his line

Fishing all the time

In a stagnant pound for full grown trout


The best fish gets away

And the advertiser,

Sells you all the drowned carp

All bloated and decayed


All our dreams wrapped up in garbage bags

Displayed for the new world to see

On our industrial washing line


Still our dreaming is a private thing

Still you should remember in peace

Your mind is not yet numbed

By the dribble you are forced to see

Forced to read

In our times
