“Think Different” said the slogan
On the billboard sign
“Right On,” said everybody
As they drove by in line
On the billboard was Albert Einstein
Different thinker extraordinaire
Who cared nothing for convention
Or computers, or his hair
Think Different everybody
Everybody, just be you
Think Different everybody
‘cause the billboard told you to
I remember a couple years ago
Someone purchased Einstein’s eyes
Not the insight, not the outlook
Not the vision, just the eyes
They looked good too as far as dead eyes go
And they followed you ‘round the room
And they’re sure to fetch a fortune
In the next big organ boom
Think Different everybody
Everybody, just be you
Think Different everybody
Like they do on Madison Avenue
I’ve been thinking
‘Bout collecting
Little parts of
Famous dead people
Just to put ‘em
All together
And have one REALLY
Famous dead person
Then I’d license this person’s image
To sell some cigarette or brassiere
Maybe even have his own Christmas Special
(with Elain Gonzales and John Rocker)
And I think it was Albert … Albert Speer
Who said Think Different everybody
Everybody, don’t blend in
Oh, Think Different everybody
On the count of three let’s begin
To Think Different everybody
Everybody, just be you
Think Different everybody
‘Cause some twenty-four-year-old silk-suited substance abuser who’d
shove his mother down an escalator for a shot at the Nabisco account told you to
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
