DEAD KENNEDYS LYRICS

"A Commercial"

Have we got a telethon for you coming soon on MTV!
A rockin' bankroll extravaganza featuring all your vigilante rock stars!
Sammy Hagar...Sylvester Stallone...Clint Eastwood.
It's so important we've even exhumed the bodies of Lynyrd Skynyrd!
This ain't no sissy concert to raise food for the needy;
this concerts 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 riot battalions need more machine guns,
more tear gas, more nerve gas,
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!
Everytime we go to the bank.
Everytime we buy food at Theftway.
Or those fancy chrome wheels for your hotcar.
It's USA FOR SOUTH AFRICA!
Don't delay! Apartheid is a BIG business!
What would these American ladies do without those diamonds?
You heard the White House...DON'T MISS IT!
Have you're 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!
