Advertising Space
Robbie Williams
There's no earthly way of knowing
What was in your heart
When it stopped going
The whole world shook
A storm was blowing
Through you
Waiting for God to stop this
And up to your neck in darkness
And everyone around you
Was corrupted
Saying somethin'
There's no dignity in death
To sell the world your last breath
They're still fighting over
Everything you left over
I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando
Passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space
And
No one learned
From your mistakes
We let our profits go to waste
And all that's left in any case
Is Advertising space
Through your eyes
The world was burning
Please be gentle
I'm still learning
You seemed to say
As you kept turning up
They poisoned you
With compromise
At what point did you realise
That everybody loves your lies
But you
Special agent for the man
Through watergate and vietnam
No one really gave a damn
Did you think the CIA did?
I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando
Passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space and
No one learned
From your mistake
We let our profits go to waste
And all that's left in any case
Is Advertising space
No one learned
From your mistakes
We let our profits go to waste
And all that's left in any case
Is Advertising space
I've seen your daughter
Man she's cute
I was scared but I wanted to
Boy she looks a lot like you.
