Lyrics
BILLBOARDS IN HEAVEN
V1 Flicking through 45 channels on my HDTV
The Ad Man and his disciples are just pushing their faith at me
A new car that I don?t need, a loan that I can?t afford
Some extra debt around my neck and he says borrow more
Ch There?ll be billboards in heaven saying ?Buy one get one free?
There?ll be billboards in heaven ? ?Today there?s a special deal?
If you need a new conscience, a brand new soul
You had a little too much rock?n?roll
God?s moved out ? and the Ad Man?s the man to see
V2 The Ad Man?s made it through my front door,
pedalling his poisoned plastic
A cheaper credit card, more rewards, an offer that?s truly fantastic
But each time that he gets to me and I write another IOU
He isn?t just taking my money no,he takes a little piece of me too

Chorus
Gotta see the Ad Man, gotta see the Ad Man
