Artist: David Wilcox Album: Home Again
Lyrics
From the very best of david wilcox ..............................................
If you want some real contentment To live life at its best You can buy these dry tobacco leaves, to breathe into your chest And then look up at the billboard, while all the promises come true, for you
You'll feel alive with pleasure, playful as a child You've come to where the freedom is You're cool and mild You'll laugh with every lungful as the change comes over you
So look up at the billboard See her smiling, sexy and tan But the only one who's laughing is the advertising man
Those portraits of pleasure, of those who like to smoke They're laughing in the photograph, but we don't get the joke Now why would they be smiling while they're looking down our way? I guess they're making easy money climbing up the rungs From selling us a parasite that's feeding on our lungs They must be laughing in astonishment that we believe the things they say
So look up at the billboard See her smiling, sexy and tan But the only one who's laughing is the advertising man
Now crack'll kill you quickly. that's why it's got to go They'll get more of your money if they kill you nice and slow And the only one who's laughing is the advertising man
