Jingle All The Way
Sick of holiday cheer yet? Nauseated by forced consumer bliss? Use music to
soothe the savage shopper! This week and next we'll pass along a (slightly
revised) carol or two to brighten your holiday mood. Please note that ETS!
will take a week off between Christmas and New Year's; we publish next week
(Tuesday, Dec. 23) with a special, 12-page year-end issue (don't miss it!),
then come back on Tuesday, Jan. 6, 1998.
Everyone sing along!
Chorus:
Profits here, profits there, profits everywhere
Christmas time is funny, we smell money in the air
Advertise, glamorize, fool you with a flair
Let's make sure that Christmas is a businesslike affair
You're eating up our lies and dashing to the stores
Then all our prices rise and how the money pours
If we don't keep you drugged and watching your TV
You might see the hypocrisy then where would business be?
Chorus: profits here...
We'll tell you how to think and tell you what to try
What to eat and drink and how to live and die
And if our plan succeeds, when Christmastime is nigh
Instead of seeking love and peace you'll hunt for gifts to
buy
Whoa, profits here...
--Geov Parrish
