A Commercial

Lyrics for A Commercial

Have we got a telethon for you Coming soon on MTV A rockin' bankroll extravaganza Featuring all your favorite vigilante rock stars: Sammy Hagar (Yay!) Sylvester Stallone Clint Eastwood This telethon is so important We've even exhumed the bodies of Lynyrd Skynyrd (Wow!) This ain't no sissy concert to raise money for food for the needy This concert's whipped up the American way To raise money for guns for the greedy! So, stay tuned and dig in those heels For USA for South Africa It's USA for South Africa 'Cause those poor, sex-starved Apartheid riot battalions Need more machine guns More tear gas More nerve gas and more electric fences For those prison camps they call "homelands" And who's going to give it to them? We are! Every one of us Every time we go to the bank Every time we buy food at Theftway Or those fancy chrome wheels for your hot car It's USA for South Africa! Don't delay! Apartheid is a big business! What would those American ladies do without those diamonds? You heard the White House... Don't miss it! Have your rich parents' money ready World hunger's gone forever Once your check's in the mail When MTV and the rock-and-racism connection Bring you live from Sun City USA for South Africa!
