I read the paper, it was a full page ad
But you could so easily afford it
You put it up there in black and white
But no one could possibly ignore it
It was a dirty, filthy, blatant pack of lies
You've got your nerve, you've got your nerve
How could you advertise?

I read the paper, I got the message
You would never readily deceive us
We're just children and we don't understand
And no one would believe us
It was a dirty, filthy, blatant pack of lies
You've got your nerve, you've got your nerve
How could you advertise?
How could you advertise?
How could you advertise?

You're not common, but you're wealthy
Do you really think that's healthy?
No, you're not common, but you're wealthy
Do you really think that's healthy?

Around the table, you're making such big plans
For total desolation
You kill us slowly and crush our fondest dreams
In idle conversation
It was a dirty, filthy, blatant pack of lies
You've got your nerve, you've got your nerve
How could you advertise?
You're not common, but you're wealthy
Do you really think that's healthy?
No, you're not common, but you're wealthy
Do you really think that's healthy?

You've got your nerve, you've really got your nerve
How could you advertise?
How could you advertise?
How could you advertise?
How could you advertise?
