In order to eat
To keep my kids in clothing
I sell garbage on TV
Oh yes, I'll tell you it's the best
That nothing else will do
I'll say anything they want me to
Because they made me what I am
And you'll believe me because
You think you know me
You trust the sincerity of my smile
Yes, we all do what they want us to
Pretending we're happy doing
What we do
Pretending that we really have no choice
It's just the way it is
And always has to be
No use at all pretending
Otherwise.
