Advert Soundtrack - Will Varley
Intro
G       G       D  Em C       G
Verse 1
GSo when I think about sex I think of Durex,
And it's Armitage Shanks when I'm taking a piss,
EmThe icons of time are Swatch and Rolex,
CAnd Captain Birdseye is the governor of fish.
Verse 2
GSo they found a way of controlling the masses,
On the sides of the buses and TV screens,
EmThe bombs start dropping when religion clashes,
CAtheism, the American dream.D  
Verse 3
GWith headlines designed to shoot down heroes,
Trading money for popularity,
EmThey're laughing stocks until they die young,
CAnd the papers cash in oDn their tragedies.
Verse 4
GSo Little Bo Beep would be knocked up at 14,
Addicted to vodka and ketamin,
EmIf she lost her sheep she wouldn't give a shit,
CAs long as she gets home iDn time to watch Skins.
Chorus
GCos we're not a generation,
EmWe're just a target market,
CThis is an advert soundtrack,
EmJust for the Dbroken hearted
G
Verse 5
GSo mix red and blue you get purple hazes,
Fills the sky on election days,
EmChoke you down at the polling station,
CFascists will blame it on Dimmigration.
Verse 6
GBut the magazines, billboards, catchphrases, gimmicks,
You buy one you get one you get one free,
EmThey promised me fast cars, riches and women,
CAll they ever gave me was DA.D.D.
Verse 7
GLife is a shit thing, a shit thing to me,
EmI'm always looking back to the sixties,
CWhat a waste of fucking space,
EmMost uniDversities.
Verse 8
GCos the dole queue is stretching around the block,
And this empire has got no friends,
EmThat was not a recession,
CThat was the beginning oDf the end.
Chorus
GCos we're not a generation,
EmWe're just a target market,
CThis is an advert soundtrack,
EmJust for the Dbroken hearted
Chorus
GWe're not a generation,
EmWe're just a target market,

So I'll pCut out my hands, and lay down my arms,
GPlug me in to the matrix and facebook charms,
DAnd I will buy all the things, that you want me to own,
CMy wife can give birth to a mobile phone.
Verse 9
GAnd I'll try and get a gig at the Durex Apollo,
And I'll try and get sponsored by Dignitas
EmAnd when I've got enough people to follow,
CWe can all turn up there Done day en massGe.
