Selling Dreams - A Song for Recession Times...



Chorus:                      
Selling, selling dreams … (um hmm, um hmmm)
There’s no self esteem (ah huh, ah huh)
They’ll sell you the moon
And if you buy their car
You can be a star (ah ha, Aha!)
Selling, selling dreams (hmm hmmm, hmm hmmm)

1.                  Trendy home machines
Can fill your lives
Clothes and trips and things
Of every size
(Yet) when you go back home
You are still alone
Searching for yourself…    (ah ha, Aha!)               Chorus

2.                Empty, empty words and promises
Are lying all around
For you to choose
Which one will you try?
Any way it’s a lie
And in the end you’ll be a fool to believe it.       Chorus

3.                  Believe it if you want it’s yours to try
There’s no truth or dare
Nobody cares
Even if you slog and work hard like a dog
You’ll spend it in a jiff   (ah ha, Aha!)
You’ll carry on like this till you realize               Chorus


I would call this a song specially meant for a time like this... Recession is causing everyone to regret decisions they made about things they purchased or the loans they took... Everyone is finding new ways to manage with whatever amount of money they have and are learning how tough it is to hold on to one's purse strings!

The song also conveys the message that matters of self-esteem and things that really are important are not connected with the things we have or buy!
