Dead Kennedys - A Commercial lyrics

[Dead Kennedys - A Commercial lyrics]

Have we got a telethon for
You coming soon on MTV

A rockin' bankroll extravaganza featuring all
Your vigilante rock stars: Sammy Hagar (yay)
Sylvester Stallone (moo)
Clint Eastwood (bang)
This telethon is so important we've even
Exhumed the bodies of Lynyrd Skynyrd (wow)

This ain't no sissy concert to raise food
For the needy this concerts whipped
Up the American way to raise money
For guns for the greedy

So stay tuned and dig in those
Heels for USA FOR SOUTH AFRICA
It's USA for South Africa cause those poor
Sex-starved apartheid riot battalions
Need more machine guns, more tear
Gas, more nerve gas


More electric fences for those prison
Camps they call "homelands"

And who's going to Give it to them? WE
ARE! Every one of us! Everytime we go
To the bank! Everytime we
Buy food at Theftway!
Or those fancy chrome wheels for your
Hot car! It's USA FOR SOUTH AFRICA!

Don't delay! Apartheid is a BIG business!
What would these American ladies do
Without those diamonds? You have heard
The White House…DON'T MISS IT!

Have your rich parents' money
Ready world hunger's gone
Forever once your check's in the mail
When MTV and the rock and racism connection
Bring you live, from Sun City
Usa for south africa!
