Sell, Sell, Sell

[Verse 1]

The credits roll, the camera pans

And in the mist our hero stands

He starts to speak, then folds his hands in prayer

An awkward pause, then what's my line?

There's nothing left to say this time

And what would you say to a bad guy who's not there?

In terms of Roman numerals, he's IV league with Roman Polanski

He'd win an Oscar every time if he was only given the chance, he

[Verse 2]

Started on the Broadway stage

A product of another age

An offer and a pilot drew him west

The series bombed, commercials came

And though nobody knew his name

They all recognized the potential he possessed

Deodorants and dental floss and how much does that new car cost?

His acting was methodical in You Don't Need A Medical

He's branded like a racing car, he's like a movie star without movies

The week of Independence Day

The casting agent called to say

Your smile could save our movie and the world

[Chorus]

Buy, buy, buy, buy, sell, sell, sell

How well you learn to not discern

Who's foe and who is friend

We'll own them all in the end

[Verse 3]

It goes like this, we have no choice

The minarets, the wailing voice

And vaguely Celtic music fills the air

We choose a foreigner to hate

The new Iraq gets more irate

We really know nothing about them and no one cares

Aladdin and The Forty Thieves enhanced by brand new special effects

Saddam and his cow disease spiced up with some gratuitous sex

A movie's made, a war is won

A low-speed chase, a smoking gun

Distracts us while the actor takes the stand

[Chorus]

Buy, buy, buy, buy, sell, sell, sell

How well you learn to not discern

Who's foe and who is friend

We'll own them all in the end
