Well they said it couldn't be done
|
But they always had it in mind
|
A picture machine! Like a radio
|
But a three-dimensional kind
|
Seeing what words could only say
|
Extending the views so far away
|
So much to see, so much to show
|
Let's see how far this thing can go
|
|
What's on T.V.?
|
What's on T.V.?
|
What's on T.V.?
|
What's on T.V.?
|
|
Well they said it shouldn't be done
|
But they always had it in mind
|
Charging a fee for the quality
|
And a bigger one to advertise
|
Too many viewpoints go unheard
|
When money talks so undisturbed
|
Here's the market -- Fill the blanks
|
For exploitation we say thanks
|
|
What's on T.V.? -- Fuck you!
|
What's on T.V.? -- Fuck you!
|
What's on T.V.?
|
What's on T.V.?
|
|
Well they said it couldn't be done
|
But they plugged into our minds
|
A one-way delivery feeding tube
|
Of reality simplified
|
Now our thoughts are in mass production
|
Our nerves de-densitized
|
This apex of invention
|
Has replaced our ears & eyes
|
|
Well I'd rather sing songs about nature
|
Being happy or having fun
|
But I asked at the desk when I got here
|
And they said it couldn't be done
|
|
Too much T.V.!
|
Too much T.V.!
|
Too much T.V.!
|
Too much T.V.!
|
|
More at ease with songs against T.V.
|
That's something we all know about
|
And we'd rather get off on the hatred
|
Than imagine the living without
|
I been watching too much telly
|
Almost turned my brain to jelly
|
Now I'm playing my cassettes
|
Get back to the music before you forget!
|
Before you forget!
|
Before you forget!
|
Before you forget!
|
|
Turn it off!
