lyrics

I've got a brand new computer
Yes ma'am the future's here
Forget all of your training
Throw out last season's gear
This deal is gonna change your life

Come see a new slice of heaven
It's yours for trivial rent
I want to see you established
In my establishment
This place is gonna change your life

He's always ready to say "I know what you need"
He's always got a new and improved plan
Expand your horizon until you've set your eyes on
This whole damn world and you're back where you began

Tune it to the new perspective
You'll see that you've been blind
Your friends have all made the leap
Into a new state of mind
This book is gonna change your life

Act now, look to tomorrow
We can reserve you a seat
On the ship that we're sailing
Destined for easy street
This group is gonna change your life

He's always ready to say "I know what you need"
He's always got a new and improved plan
Expand your horizon until you've set your eyes on
This whole damn world and you're back where you began

But I feel good! I feel great! Yes it's hard to overrate
My satisfaction, so keep on traveling salesman
I hope that you can find a contentment just like mine
when you've cured enough folks of their ailments

So keep rambling, and battling traveling salesman
There's always another source of greed
Maybe the prized one lies beyond the horizon
Leave us in peace, and go find what you need
