Always wanted to write a song using ad slogans. Had written the chorus ten years ago; it was just waiting for the right verses. Had the TV on in the little apartment I shared with son Alex. Wrote down ad slogans as they were broadcast, didn't have to change the order, did make up the one about the executioner. Sounded like lyrics. The only sense it makes is that the ad slogans we are bombarded with 24/7, and the producers behind the products being bandied, are oppressive, suppressive, repressive, and lead to depression.
Lyrics
OPPRESS REPRESS SUPPRESS DEPRESS
C 2007 BM
OPPRESS REPRESS SUPPRESS DEPRESS
TRANSFORM YOUR DRY AND FRIZZY HAIR
EVERYTHING WORKS TOGETHER FROM A TO B
IT EATS LIKE STEAK AND IT CUTS LIKE BUTTER
LET’S SEE HOW THIS BRUISE LOOKS IN HD
OPPRESS REPRESS SUPPRESS DEPRESS
THAT’S WHAT WE ARE MADE OF – ARE YOU SLEEPING
UTOPIA IS WITHIN REACH
WHAT DOES YOUR HOME KNOW THAT YOU DON’T
MULTI-TASKING DOUBLES YOUR RISK OF AN ACCIDENT
OPPRESS REPRESS SUPPRESS DEPRESS
HOW CAN YOU EXPECT THE EXCUTIONER TO EXACT THE PROPER PUNISHMENT
POINGNANT MEMORIES OF HIS MOTHER’S MASCETOMY
JUST THE THING TO ENHANCE YOUR TRANCE
OPPRESS REPRESS SUPPRESS DEPRESS
