People not into music does not seem to actually listen to the lyrics. Like, Springsteens Born in the USA etc. It is really strange. The lyrics doesn't even have to be subtle.

They are nothing if not honest about what they think of their customers and what their ambitions are.

Out of all of Bowie’s songs, why would you choose Five Years for this? So daft. You could have picked something like Rebel Rebel or Changes which are more positive songs that actually fit your message. Truly absurd.

At this point, I would not be surprised if they did it on purpose.

Perhaps a knowledgeable "insider" purposely selected the song as a warning "flare"..or perhaps the marketing folks are clueless.

It reminds me of those substanceless Veridian Dynamics ads on Better Off Ted.

They had to have had _some_ inkling, considering one of the lyrics is “a cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that.”
