A 1922 ad for Jello showed
a little girl sitting in her mother's lap,
her face filled with terror,
having just awoken from a bad dream
She bares her commodified soul,
REFRAIN:
"A nightmare, mother! I was dreaming Jimi stole my Jello
A 1922 ad from Paramount Studios
documented the breakdown of parental know-how,
and gives an insight into the ways in which
youth served as a cover for
the new authorities [2X]
REFRAIN
A 1929 ad for Quaker Oats
pictured young James Folan who
led his class and had good checkups, too
In a letter written by his mother comes a formula for such
success, our mornings are never too rushed
to give Jimmy his Quaker Oats
REFRAIN They're corporatized
Rat eyes, rat eyes, rat eyes, rat eyes
I was dreaming
