Voice on the radio says I’m not enough.
Drink this beer it’ll make me tough
Everyone who buys it just pulling a bluff.
I tried it once, but I could never get enough.

It’s bad messaging, bad messaging.
It’s bad messaging. And then they tell me just to shut up and sing.
—
Man on the TV says he wants my vote.
Cross in the background and a hanging rope.
I guess he thinks that I’m some kind of dope.
He’s selling fear, I was looking for hope.
—
It’s bad messaging, bad messaging.
It’s bad messaging. And then they tell me just to shut up and sing.
—
If you wonder how things got this bad,
I think the truth is, we’ve all been had.
I can’t blame you if it makes you sad.
But it’s maybe more useful if you just get mad.
—
Girl in a magazine looks pretty nice.
Sell me the world for a very nice price.
The way she looks about to put me on ice.
But if that shit really worked you know they’d charge you twice.
—
It’s bad messaging, bad messaging.
It’s bad messaging. And then they tell me just to shut up and sing.
