 The  credits roll, the camera pans
 And in  the mist our hero stands
 He starts  to speak, then folds  his hands in prayer
 An  awkward pause, then what's my line?
 There's nothing  left to say this time
 And what  would you say to a bad  guy who's not there?
 In terms  of Roman numerals,
 He's IV league with Roman Polanski
 He'd win  an Oscar every time if he was only given the chance, He...
 ...started on the Broadway stage
 A product of another age,
 An offer and a pilot drew him west
 The series bombed, commercials came
 And though nobody knew his name
 They all recognized the potential he possessed
 Deodorants and dental floss
 And how much does that new car cost
 His acting was methodical in You Don't Need A Medical
 He's branded like a racing car,
 He's like a movie star with movies
 The week of Independence Day,
 The casting agent called to say
 Your smile could save our movie  and the world
Buy  buy buy buy
Sell  sell sell
 How well  you learn
 To not  discern who's
Foe  and who is friend
 We'll own them all  in the end
 It goes like this, we have no choice; the minarets,
 The wailing voice
 And vaguely Celtic music fills the air
 We choose a foreigner to hate,
 The new Iraq gets more irate
 We really know nothing about them, and no one cares
 Aladdin and the forty thieves
 Enhanced by brand new special effects
 Saddam and his cow disease spiced up
 With some gratuitous sex
 A movie's made, a war is won
 A low-speed chase, a smoking gun
 Distracts us while the actor takes the stand
 Buy buy buy buy
 Sell sell sell
 How well you learn
 To not discern
 Who's foe and who is friend
 We'll own them all  in the end
