    Think Visual

    by: kinks

    Productivity is getting higher and higher oh, oh, yeh
    But profitability is getting tighter and tighter oh, oh, yeh
    When you see our face in the market place we gotta clean cut image to keep
    (The competition is getting tighter and tighter)
    We gotta advertise, we gotta merchandise, ooh, oh, yeh
    Flash those teeth
    Competition's on the rise
    Open those eyes better get computerised
    Think visual, think visual, think visual
    Think visual, think visual, show your personality
    Marketing says we gotta merchandise
    But economy says we gotta minimise huh -
    We gotta budget to face and the marketplace is full of competition, competition
    Think digital, synthisise, computerise, think visual
    Productivity, marketability, higher and higher
    Flash those teeth, open those eyes
    Think visual, think visual
    Flash those teeth, competitions on the rise
    Open those eyes, better get computerised
    Think visual, think visual, think visual
    Think visual, think visual, push the button and see
    Marketing say we gotta goal to chase
    But economy says we gotta budget to face
    Get your attitude straight, 'Cos it's all in your mind
    And it's never too late to get a new design
    And if you wanna compete you gotta visualise
    Flash those teeth, come on open those eyes
