Barenaked Ladies - Sell, Sell, Sell Lyrics

[Verse 1]The credits roll, the camera pansAnd in the mist our hero standsHe starts to speak, then folds his hands in prayerAn awkward pause, then what's my line?There's nothing left to say this timeAnd what would you say to a bad guy who's not there?In terms of Roman numerals, he's IV league with Roman PolanskiHe'd win an Oscar every time if he was only given the chance, he[Verse 2]Started on the Broadway stageA product of another ageAn offer and a pilot drew him westThe series bombed, commercials cameAnd though nobody knew his nameThey all recognized the potential he possessedDeodorants and dental floss and how much does that new car cost?His acting was methodical in You Don't Need A MedicalHe's branded like a racing car, he's like a movie star without moviesThe week of Independence DayThe casting agent called to sayYour smile could save our movie and the world[Chorus]Buy, buy, buy, buy, sell, sell, sellHow well you learn to not discernWho's foe and who is friendWe'll own them all in the end[Verse 3]It goes like this, we have no choiceThe minarets, the wailing voiceAnd vaguely Celtic music fills the airWe choose a foreigner to hateThe new Iraq gets more irateWe really know nothing about them and no one caresAladdin and The Forty Thieves enhanced by brand new special effectsSaddam and his cow disease spiced up with some gratuitous sexA movie's made, a war is wonA low-speed chase, a smoking gunDistracts us while the actor takes the stand[Chorus]Buy, buy, buy, buy, sell, sell, sellHow well you learn to not discernWho's foe and who is friendWe'll own them all in the end
