Lyrics for Simon Says

Pounds falling out my pocket We went straight out and bought it Cats, stripes, stars, and swishes, standing in a line The satellite connects We're hypnotized by TV sets And sing-along commercial anthems Like a zombie choir Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo We're all talkin' 'bout it 'Round the clock about it Scheme about it, dream about it Eat it all the time It's on the grocery list Below the cream, above the chips What Simon says, we've got to listen Tell us what we like 'Cause I like what I like, oh-oh I like what I like, oh-oh But why do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I? WWW, don't forget life before the Internet The streets were run by Sharks and Jets and children running wild As we pixelate a generation Children become application Pawn consumer pollinators Buy it, buy and buy 'Cause I like what I like We're all talkin' 'bout it 'Round the clock about it Scheme about it, dream about it Even when we die It's on the grocery list Below the cream, above the chips What Simon says, we've got to listen Tell us what we like We're still talkin' 'bout it Can't stop talking 'Cause the needle in the haystack Is a splinter in your mind It can get quite confused When you don't pick the words you choose Involuntarily advertising for their enterprise 'Cause I like what I like, aw-oh I like what I like, aw-oh I like what I like, aw-oh But why do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I? Do I, do I, do I? Do I ever climb a tree? (Do I, do I?) Do I ever climb a tree, do I? (Do I, do I, do I?) Do I ever climb a tree, do I? (Do I, do I, do I?) Do I ever climb a tree, do I? Do I ever climb a tree, do I?
