lyrics
Good morning, Focus Group A!
We've all been dying to hear what you've got to say, 'cuz
Candy bars don't sell themselves, and
We've got a lot on the shelves, so
Focus Group A—take it away!
T'anks, boss.
Well, so, we'd like ta sorta
Talk about what happened last quartah.
I don't mean ta bore ya, but here's some data fo' ya:
Da pwofits fwom da quartah—in ordah.
As you can see, dere's a downward twend--
It gets pwetty gwuesome dere towards da end--
And we're t'inkin' if we wanna fight dis twend
We gotta become da consumah's fwend—again.
Toins out da popuwation
Is no wonger as susceptibuh to manipuwation.
But we've done some calcuwation and pwepawation
And we t'ink it's gonna win us back da sawivation of da nation!
Chorus
We'll rape your mind
Stick you in the skull and pull
In and out—in and out
The burning that you're learning
Happens when you're very very full
In and out—in and out
Hello, Focus Group B!
I hear you're cooking up some stuff we'd really love to see, so
When you're good and able
Come over and sit down at the table and
Spend some quality time with me...
Well, thanks, guy.
Let's talk about the power of irony, and
Pay attention—this is why you hired me.
It's the ultimate tool for the liar, see—
And if that's not true, well—fire me!
It's not enough to say it tastes great--
They've heard that one! Seen it before! It's too late!
It's over! Done! Now, for fun, instead contemplate
Ridiculing the product—there's the bait!
If they're in on the joke, they feel smarter;
It's them feeling dumb that makes our job harder.
Irony is our armor! We need not be torn apart or
Broken by the public—be their martyr!
Chorus
Focus Group C couldn't be with us today.
(They all froze to death.)
This verse is missing.
Missoula, MT’s worst-kept secret.
An eccentric piano-rock quartet with a varied oeuvre, from soft confessionals to howling rants about the lonely and insane.
Better than sex. Cheaper than therapy.
