Hidden Persuaders

Yes I can play the guitar, believe it or not Ed taught me This one's called the Hidden Persuaders, sing along please Yeah, you can still bounce The hidden persuaders Are gonna infiltrate us The babes in consumer land Supply and demand The spending's contagious Do you reckon it's outrageous? They're paying the entertainers To get you buying the jeans That you don't really need From the hidden dictators? 'Cause they're all trying to make me compromised To these one-a-dollar conners telling lots of lies Am I as bad as them and you just realise that it's true? Sheffield, sing it to me, please 'Cause you're free to do as we tell you You're free to do as we say You're free to do as we tell you And you're free to do it today Let's all have nutters We've been at it for ages Creating black holes from wages They get you all hypnotised by the big dollar signs Of the manipulators The hidden persuaders Are gonna infiltrate us The babes in consumer land Can supply and demand And the spending's contagious They call it product placement in the industry Though it's designed to get you buying All the things you see Do you think they're hoodwinking society and you? All together now, please You're free to do as we tell you You're free to do as we say And you're free to do as we tell you And you're free to do it today I fuckin' love you, Sheffield Bounce with me, please And we're back You're free to do as we tell you And you're free to do as we say You're free to do as we tell you You're free to do it today Ah, have to belt out, do ya?
