Room for rent
Futon bed
Strange ideas in the resident's head
Pets ok, cats preferred
Doesn't matter what you might have overheard
Love for music and romantic dates
You can like scary flicks but it's something he hates
Has a job and he has a car
But he can't remember where his house keys are

Truth in advertising
Nothing misleading or surprising
Honestly you should know I'm trying
To speak the truth in advertising
Truth in advertising
Why waste time just falsifying
But to me we should all be trying
To keep the truth in advertising

Man for sale
One large chap
Rough around the edges but he's not full of crap
Prefers imperfections and follows no directions
Sometimes is depressing looking at his own reflection
Used to play sports
Never was a star
He's still a smart kid but you gotta look hard
Six foot four but maybe even tops that
Shy around girls but he's trying hard to stop that

Truth in advertising
Nothing misleading or surprising
Honestly you should know I'm trying
To speak the truth in advertising
Truth in advertising
Why waste time just falsifying
But to me we should all be trying
To keep the truth in advertising

Act now, it's a sales event
But the claim's an illusion and a false pretense
I can't believe they would air that
Hurry up, time's running out
The lines they tout
That I can't even handle
It just makes me wanna change the channel
Love for hire
One large event
Could change my feeling and my sentiment
It could be affirmation
It could be denial
Send away now for your risk free trial

Truth in advertising
Nothing misleading or surprising
Honestly you should know I'm trying
To speak the truth in advertising
Truth in advertising
Why waste time just falsifying
But to me we should all be trying
To keep the truth in advertising
Truth in advertising
Nothing misleading or surprising
Honestly you should know I'm trying
To speak the truth in advertising
Truth in advertising
Why waste time just falsifying
But to me we should all be trying
To keep the truth in advertising
