[Intro]
D5 (x4)

[Verse 1]
( D5 ) 
The credits roll, the camera pans
    Bbdim7
And in the mist our hero stands
    G5                      A5                 D5
He starts to speak, then folds his hands in prayer
( D5 )
An awkward pause, then what's my line?
        Bbdim7
There's nothing left to say this time
    G5                       A5                   D5
And what would you say to a bad guy who's not there?
   B5
In terms of Roman numerals,
                             G5
He's IV league with Roman Polanski
     B5                                                G5      A5
He'd win an Oscar every time if he was only given the chance, He...

[Verse 2]
...started on the Broadway stage
A product of another age,
An offer and a pilot drew him west
The series bombed, commercials came
And though nobody knew his name
They all recognized the potential he possessed
Deodorants and dental floss
And how much does that new car cost
His acting was methodical in You Don't Need A Medical
He's branded like a racing car,
He's like a movie star with movies
The week of Independence Day,
The casting agent called to say
                           A5             D5
Your smile could save our movie and the world

[Chorus]
B5
Buy buy buy buy
G5
Sell sell sell
    A5
How well you learn
   F#5         F#5
To not discern who's
B5              G5
Foe and who is friend
               A5
We'll own them all in the end

[Verse 3]
It goes like this, we have no choice; the minarets,
The wailing voice
And vaguely Celtic music fills the air
We choose a foreigner to hate,
The new Iraq gets more irate
We really know nothing about them , and no one cares
Aladdin and the forty thieves
Enhanced by brand new special effects
Saddam and his cow disease spiced up
With some gratuitous sex
A movie's made, a war is won
A low-speed chase, a smoking gun
Distracts us while the actor takes the stand

[Chorus]
Buy buy buy buy
Sell sell sell
How well you learn
To not discern
Who's foe and who is friend
                  A5       D5
We'll own them all in the end

[End on D5 ]
