I see my dreams each day on the TV show
The things I want, the places that I might go
A shiny car, a trip to foreign parts
A smoother shave to capture all girls' hearts (that's what they say)
The ad man's world's designed to make you need
The kind of things on which your dreams can feed
Beg, borrow, steal - the money's never there
How do you feel, your life seems oh so bare
The ideal life, the salegirl's happy smile
They tell you 'Buy!' They tell you what's worthwhile
It's all sunshine in this ideal home life
And life's so fine, just full of plastic wives
