A Commercial lyrics

Have we got a telethon for you coming soon on MTV!

A rockin' bankroll Extravaganza

Featuring all your favorite vigilante rock stars!

Sammy Hagar!

Sylvester Stallone!

Clint Eastwood!

It's so important we've even exhumed the bodies of Lynyrd Skynyrd!

This ain't no sissy concert to raise money for food for the needy

This concerts whipped up the American way

To raise money for guns for the greedy!

So stay tuned and dig in those heels

For USA for South Africa!

It's USA for South Africa

'Cause those poor sex-starved departed riot battalions

Need more machine guns, more tear gas, more nerve gas

And more electric fences for those prison camps they call "homelands"

And who's going to give it to them? We are!

Every one of us!

Everytime we go to the bank

Everytime we buy food at Theftway

Or those fancy chrome wheels for your hot car

It's USA for South Africa!

Don't delay!

Apartheid is a big business!

What would these American ladies do without those diamonds?

You heard the White House... Don't miss it!

Have you're rich parents' money ready

World hunger's gone forever once your check's in the mail

When MTV and the rock and racism connection

Bring you Live, from Sun City

USA For South Africa!
