Packaged like a rebel or a hero
Target mass appeal
to make an audience feel

Package the illusion of persona
Careful to conceal

[w/Rhy.Fig.5]
Hit you in a soft place
a melody so sweet
a strong and simple beat

Designing to deceive
That's entertainment
[w/Rhy.Fig.8 into next verse]

with sentimental ease
they know the fantasies
that you romance to
