(D. Pickerill/P. O'Donoughue)
|
|
I've been watching the storm clouds gather in the distance
|
Follow jet planes as they move 'cross the sky
|
I turn my head from the TV set
|
I'm drowning without getting wet
|
Then the man says
|
La la, la la la la la la
|
|
Hey, I've seen children in rags look on up at the cameras
|
Hold up their hands, wait your turn in the line
|
One more vision on the screen
|
Watch from a chair not really seeing
|
|
Then the man says
|
|
Chorus:
|
(La la, la la la la la la)
|
Take care, goodnight
|
I hope you have a nice, nice day
|
(La la, la la la la la la)
|
Tune in, turn on, but forget it and the end of the day
|
(La la, la la la la la la)
|
|
I've seen rich men in mansions
|
Have their cake and eat it
|
Then talk about wages, the wages of sin
|
I still say that it can't be right
|
To settle down, turn off the light
|
|
Then the man says
|
|
Chorus
|
|
La la, la la la la la la (x3)
|
|
I watch the night sky and the stars in the distance
|
Dreaming of worlds far, far away
|
I sometimes think that there's much more
|
Other times I'm not so sure
|
|
Then the man says
|
|
Chorus (x3)
|
|
Forget it at the end of the day
|
Take care, la la, goodnight.
