The Reoccurring Dream

This is the reoccurring dream
Born in the dreary gap between
What we have now
And what we wish we could have
(More fulfilling and less frustrating)
Out of the envy in our eyes
(Look)
Glamorous picture people rise
(Radiant)
Gleaming down from screens and pages
(Ooh, glamour, before your very eyes)
Isn't it true, isn't it true?
(Good question, I know, who cares)
Look here, they tell you
If you had this
If you had that
(Latest styles and colors)
(If we had that for us, wouldn't it be fabulous?)
If you had that house, car, bottle, jar
Your lovers would look like movie stars
Movie stars, movie stars, movie stars
(Order your youth secrets of the stars)
(Call now, just $9.99)

Our discontent is their delight
They offer relief for the purchase price
Love in a bottle
(Love on four wheels)
(Is that our new car, Charles?)
Isn't it true, isn't it true?
(We guarantee it, pick up your phone and dial)
See here, they sell you
If you had this
If you had that
(I want a new truck, more power)
(If you use this shampoo, true love will come to you)
If you had that house, car, bottle, jar
Your lovers would look like movie stars
Movie stars, movie stars, movie stars
(Hollywood's greatest legends)
