[Intro]
Chord diagramD MajorD (x4)

[Verse 1]
(Chord diagramD MajorD)
The credits roll, the camera pans
  Chord diagramBbdim7Bbdim7
And in the mist our hero stands
  Chord diagramD MajorD
He starts to speak, then folds his hands in prayer
(Chord diagramD MajorD)
An awkward pause, then what's my line?
    Chord diagramBbdim7Bbdim7
There's nothing left to say this time
  Chord diagramD MajorD
And what would you say to a bad guy who's not there?
  Chord diagramB minorBm
In terms of Roman numerals,
               Chord diagramG+G
He's IV league with Roman Polanski
   Chord diagramA augmentedA
He'd win an Oscar every time if he was only given the chance, He...
[Verse 2]
...started on the Broadway stage
Chord diagramA augmentedA 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 Chord diagramA augmentedA Medical
He's branded like a racing car,
He's like a movie star with movies
The week of Independence Day,
The casting agent called to say
              Chord diagramD MajorD
Your smile could save our movie and the world

[Chorus]
Chord diagramB minorBm
Buy buy buy buy
Chord diagramG+G
Sell sell sell
  Chord diagramA augmentedA
How well you learn
  Chord diagramC#C#
To not discern who's
Chord diagramG+G
Foe and who is friend
        Chord diagramA augmentedA
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
Chord diagramA augmentedA movie's made, a war is won
Chord diagramA augmentedA 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
         Chord diagramD MajorD
We'll own them all in the end

[End on
