She Sells




Hear that song on the radio

The one stuck in your head

It's designed to seize your mind

You'll sing it till you're dead

It isn't by your favorite band

It's by a girl you'll never know

But the next time you go shopping

She will tell you where to go, 'cause



She sells

Condos by the seashore

She sells

Machines to wax the kitchen floor

She sells

To get a slice of that big pie

But in the end she sells her soul

Because she knows that's what they want to buy



She gave up chasing that hit single

Why should she work so hard

When she can write one catchy jingle

And buy a house with a back yard?

The suits fill up her fan club

The boardroom is her gig

Her music plays ten times a day

She must be really big!



She sells

Condos by the seashore

She sells

The item you been looking for

She sells

To get a slice of that big pie

But in the end she sells her soul

Because she knows that's what they want to buy



Then she finds herself forgettin'

Why she started in the first place

Afternoons at the piano

Up on daddy's knee

First a G, yeah, now an E

That's the way, baby



Now it's contracts

And royalties

And thirty second spots

Don't make 'em cry

Just make 'em buy

And make 'em buy a lot!



She sells

Condos by the seashore

She sells

Ointment for that open sore

She sells

To get a slice of that big pie

But she don't wanna sell herself

And so it's time to say goodbye

She sells

Mint-flavored air pollution

She sells

Advanced internet solutions

She sells

She sells

She sells
