Advert Soundtrack - Will Varley


BB    BB    F#F# AbmAbm E MajorE    BB

BB
So when I think about sex I think of Durex,

And it's Armitage Shanks when I'm taking a piss,
AbmAbm
The icons of time are Swatch and Rolex,
E MajorE
And Captain Birdseye is the governor of fish.

BB
So they found a way of controlling the masses,

On the sides of the buses and TV screens,
AbmAbm
The bombs start dropping when religion clashes,
E MajorE                F#F#
Atheism, the American dream.

BB
With headlines designed to shoot down heroes,

Trading money for popularity,
AbmAbm
They're laughing stocks until they die young,
E MajorE            F#F#
And the papers cash in on their tragedies.

BB
So Little Bo Beep would be knocked up at 14,

Addicted to vodka and ketamin,
AbmAbm
If she lost her sheep she wouldn't give a shit,
E MajorE             F#F#
As long as she gets home in time to watch Skins.

BB
Cuz we're not a generation,
AbmAbm
We're just a target market,
E MajorE
This is an advert soundtrack,
AbmAbm      F#F#
Just for the broken hearted

BB

BB
So mix red and blue you get purple hazes,

Fills the sky on election days,
AbmAbm
Choke you down at the polling station,
E MajorE             F#F#
Fascists will blame it on immigration.

BB
But the magazines, billboards, catchphrases, gimmicks,

You buy one you get one you get one free,
AbmAbm
They promised me fast cars, riches and women,
E MajorE             F#F#
All they ever gave me was A.D.D.

BB
Life is a shit thing, a shit thing to me,
AbmAbm
I'm always looking back to the sixties,
E MajorE
What a waste of fucking space,
AbAb   F#F#
Most universities.

BB
Cuz the dole queue is stretching around the block,

And this empire has got no friends,
AbmAbm
That was not a recession,
E MajorE            F#F#
That was the beginning of the end.

BB
Cuz we're not a generation,
AbmAbm
We're just a target market,
E MajorE
This is an advert soundtrack,
AbmAbm      F#F#
Just for the broken hearted

BB
We're not a generation,
AbmAbm
We're just a target market,
E MajorE
This is an advert soundtrack,
AbmAbm      F#F#
Just for the broken hearted

     E MajorE
So I'll put out my hands, and lay down my arms,
BB
Plug me in to the matrix and facebook charms,
F#F#
And I will buy all the things, that you want me to own,
E MajorE
My wife can give birth to a mobile phone.

BB
And I'll try and get a gig at the Durex Apollo,

And I'll try and get sponsored by Dignitas
AbmAbm
And when I've got enough people to follow,
E MajorE            F#F#        BB
We can all turn up there one day en masse.

BB
Cuz we're not a generation,
AbmAbm
We're just a target market,
E MajorE
This is an advert soundtrack,
AbmAbm      F#F#
Just for the broken hearted

BB
We're not a generation,
AbmAbm
We're just a target market,
E MajorE
This is an advert soundtrack,
AbmAbm      F#F#
Just for the broken hearted
