Buying My Implanted Dreams


buy a new big truck as part of the lifestyle of a hard-nosed account manager
eat a double cheese meat lovers pizza and become like a pro football player

drink a lot of beer and attractive women will flock to have sex with you
burn dirty coal in old power plants for a more patriotic environment

take little red sugar pills, eat what you want and lose that fat while you sleep
invest your money with slick, friendly strangers and they will ensure your future

treat your entire family to a traditional fast food meal you picked up coming home
ask your doctor about that advertised drug and you’ll never get old and sick

make just one more electronics purchase and you will achieve technical nirvana
eat more factory beef and believe you support ruggedly-indepenent American ranchers

buy a new performance sedan and act like a character from some slick action movie
buy everything your child wants and you will demonstrate your love for them

order today before it's too late because it's just once in a lifetime
unwrap a snack anytime you just feel the need to get away

spend your money on something because someone else saw the same ad
listen to the music that sponsors want played before and after their pitches

buy a new gas guzzling jeep or you don't really care if you’re rugged & your family is safe
listen to their music and join the community, where nobody even knows you

pay off your credit card by refinancing your house then charge some more without any guilt
use what they advertise and you’ll be living just like the TV stars – in your tired modular

buy one of these or, if you really prefer, you can just remain a chump and a moocher
eat out often as corporate food prepared by dropouts will enrich your life

for real players like you, home equity is for vacations, not for saving, like some loser
"hire" a broker and he will be with your for now and forever

learn the issues well from 30 second soundbites and then go out and vote your "conscience"
buy a new car because they advertise so much that it must really be quite important

save tons of money by rolling your credit debt over to a different card with lower interest
trowel more grease, powder and paint on your face and it will keep you young

get your child a happy meal so they can bring up kids to take there, too
pick up that sugary cereal for 8 bucks a box and achieve family harmony

buy frozen meals and save precious time to spend watching even more ads in HD
purchase a computer and you will surely start learning things on internet

put on some expensive new imported clothes and start feeling better about your true self
sharing excessive quantities of the same brand of beer will cement your true friendships

smoke outside your school because they paid actors to show cigarettes in a movie
buy a 3 ton SUV for 45k and go find your freedom almost offroad in the shattered wilderness

hurry and buy a bigger new house based on real estate advertisement hyperbole
increase sexual pleasure and big pharmas bottom line by popping their pills      

ask your doctor about a drug you learned nothing about in an expensive tv ad
shop at the grocery store where pleasant music soothes you in every snack aisle

spend way too much on a boring cruise and get food poisoning while acting rich
waste time and money on golf with phonies who pretend it all makes sense

invest your thought and emotions on sports events for years but never ask if it makes any sense
get cash back and more horsepower when you buy now with nothing down

buy more than you need then throw away what’s left over, after it has spoiled
Charge off a true family adventure shoving your way thru a corrupt Disneyland fantasy

pay full retail to get this years sports gear like it would make any real difference
get an expensive new cell phone so others can hear you talking nonsense

throw 25 grand at a big macho Harley, then dump it in your driveway
swill caffeine and donuts and buy yourself a yoga class 5 times a month

go out for expensive lunches 3 days a week and call yourself a conservative
pay full price for designer clothes to advance your so-called career

lay out your credit card for the drinks and dinner, because that makes you feel like a player
watch what's on tv because ads made it seem as if many others also do

pay big bucks for private schools and believe your kid will notice a difference
give a premium for designer foods made with extra calories and artificial colorings

spend your money to save time - as if that account were building up somewhere for later
stay in 5 Star hotels and eat well when you vacation, since you work so hard you truly deserve it

‘invest’ all you can borrow on a stock tip about which you know nothing at all
never save a penny and think you can retire at 51 if you start planning at 45
