The Fad of the Land
Words by Steve Taylor
Music by Peter Furler 

I'm a marinade
Of what's hot this summer.
I'm an early comer.
Bought a Gulf War Hummer.

Every fad, I feel its force.
Every trend, I do endorse.
Got my genomes mapping.
Caught my smart dog napping.

(Ohh.)
I'm charging up the new, new thing.
(Ohh.)
I'm answering a customized ring.
(Ohh.)
I'm starting from the place you stop.
(Ohh.)
I'm packing for an ego trip...hop.

Stop the scam.
You day traders in a traffic jam.
Can the craze.
All you players outta plays.
Fight the man.
All you suckers for a better brand.
They got us livin' off the fad o' the land.

Get your pager on
(Get your pager on)
'Cause you know my number.
I'm a wireless wonder.
Got thumbs of thunder.

(Ohh.)
(Doo-doo-doo doo doo. Doo-doo-doo doo doo.)
I'm riffing on the new, new thing.
(Ohh.)
(Doo-doo-doo doo doo. Doo-doo-doo doo doo.)
I'm answering a customized ring.
(Ohh.)
(Doo-doo-doo doo doo. Doo-doo-doo doo doo.)
I'm starting from the place you stop.
(Ohh.)
(Doo-doo-doo doo doo. Doo-doo-doo doo doo.)
I'm packing for an ego trip...hop.

Stop the scam.
You day traders in a traffic jam.
Can the craze.
All you players outta plays.
Fight the man.
All you suckers for a better brand.
They got us livin' off the fad o' the land.

Soul daddies in a fire wire tumble dryer.
Soul mamas broke the breaker.
Soul children packin' Prozac pacifiers.
Get your plug-in.
We all need to plug into our Maker.

(Ohh.)
I'm riffing on the new, new thing.
(I'm riffing on the new, new thing.)
(Ohh.)
I'm answering a customized ring.
(I'm answering a customized ring.)
(Ohh.)
I'm starting from the place you stop.
(I'm starting from the place you stop.)
(Ohh.)
I'm packing for an ego trip...hop.

Stop the scam.
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah.)
Can the craze.
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah.)
Fight the man.
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah.)
They got us livin' off the fad o' the land.

S-s-s-stop the scam.
You day traders in a traffic jam.
Can the craze.
All you players outta plays.
F-f-f-fight the man.
All you suckers for a better brand.
They got us livin' off the fad o' the land.
They got us livin' off the fad o' the land.
They got us livin' off the fad o' the land.
