The sidewinder sleeps tonight by REM

 

"Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me

Today I need something more sub-sub-substantial

A can of beans or black-eyed peas, some Nescafé and ice

A candy bar, a falling star or a reading of Dr. Seuss"......

Endless Commercial - John Kay

 

I know right now it may seem controversial
But you'll learn to love and live in the endless commercial
Leave everything to us, trust me, we know best
Just park the kids by the TV and we'll do all the rest
We'll pull the strings behind the scene
And let you all believe that this is really just a dream
Should you wake up, screaming "how'd this come about?"
Just keep your mouth shut if you know a way out.

And I heard these voices calling all over the world"......

Satisfaction - Rolling Stones.                  The guy on the radio with useless information, the guy on TV telling him how white his shirts can be.

Share the Land - The Guess Who

 

Did you pay your dues
Did you read the news
This mornin' when the paper landed in your yard
Do you know their names
Can you play their games
Without losin' track and comin' down a bit too hard
