It's the gospel according to
Whichever channel you're listening to
It's the battle for the hearts and minds
Selling grown-ups nursery rhymes
And we fall for it every time
'Cause we're consumers and
Marketing, marketing

Sticking out like a sore thumb
And no adult supervision
A karaoke one-man band
Why don't you give that man a hand
'Cause he's working on his noble brand
And we're all living in wonderland
Wonderland, wonderland
Give that man a CLEO

And Madison Avenue
Is raking in the money and
Marketing, marketing
Marketing is everything, yeah
