You've been living in a bubble made by people hidden from you Second-guessing what you're thinking, taking everything that you can give 'em And they think that money makes 'em into better human beings While licking up fat from the meat that you fed 'em 'cause they set their trap right here in your home and you let 'em in, you let 'em in And they are meant to be annoying and they're meant to make a mess While the newsman casts a shadow meant to multiply your stress And now a message from our sponsor will relieve you from the press So you're set down, set down in Soda pop You're swimming in soda pop Wake up! It's soda pop On every channel, soda pop Women flock towards them with glittering smiles And they talk about the industry, the atmosphere, the chemistry between them 'Til their one track minds click like the buttons on a paparazzi telephoto lens Make sure you're dressed correctly 'cause they'll meet you at the door Just remember who to greet and who to pointedly ignore These vipers in a nest dressed in their Sunday best Fondle and caress to the delicate strains of Soda pop You're swimming in soda pop Wake up! It's soda pop On every station, soda pop Then home at 5, the weather's on And hope tomorrow this feeling's gone. Australia's got a culture just like any other land But the music that we dance to is in the key of Uncle Sam While a satellite drip-feeds TVCDVDPR firms worms! The parasitic tracking of the people on the street By a team of statisticians made to measure up the meek Who incidentally won't inherit anything but lack of sleep When they're let down, let down by Soda pop You're swimming in soda pop Wake up! It's soda pop For fucking morons: soda pop Soda pop On every station, soda pop In every bar it's soda pop On every channel, soda pop Now it's gone too far Soda pop In every paper, soda pop In every car, soda pop On every channel, soda pop Now it's gone too far and I say Uh-uh, uh-uh get fucked!
