Hidden Persuaders - Live

Yes I can play the guitar, believe it or not
Ed taught me
This one's called the Hidden Persuaders, sing along please

Yeah, you can still bounce

The hidden persuaders
Are gonna infiltrate us
The babes in consumer land
Supply and demand
The spending's contagious

Do you reckon it's outrageous?
They're paying the entertainers
To get you buying the jeans
That you don't really need
From the hidden dictators?

'Cause they're all trying to make me compromised
To these one-a-dollar conners telling lots of lies
Am I as bad as them and you just realise that it's true?
Sheffield, sing it to me, please

'Cause you're free to do as we tell you
You're free to do as we say
You're free to do as we tell you
And you're free to do it today
Let's all have nutters

We've been at it for ages
Creating black holes from wages
They get you all hypnotised by the big dollar signs
Of the manipulators

The hidden persuaders
Are gonna infiltrate us
The babes in consumer land
Can supply and demand
And the spending's contagious

They call it product placement in the industry
Though it's designed to get you buying
All the things you see
Do you think they're hoodwinking society and you?
All together now, please

You're free to do as we tell you
You're free to do as we say
And you're free to do as we tell you
And you're free to do it today

I fuckin' love you, Sheffield
Bounce with me, please

And we're back

You're free to do as we tell you
And you're free to do as we say
You're free to do as we tell you
You're free to do it today

Ah, have to belt out, do ya?
