Transfixated on the big blue screen Your window to the outside a melancholy dream A medium upon which you build reality This episodic currency that everybody needs
Somebodies delivery lulls you to sleep The man behind the weather map the editor in chief They control two worlds power and disease And you cannot supress you curiosity
See it's only entertainment Superficial urgency Posterboard mentality Only entertainemnt Tightly constrained The buzz that remains Is the story of how we run our lives
Many our the people poor and suffering From the lack of coverage from the transmission beam And if it ever gets there you'll be offended too 'Cause you cannot distinguish chicanery from truth
See it's only entertainment A superficial episode As life continues to unfold Only entertainment Controlled and copied They've planted the seed That sprouts into your picture of the world
Can't someone protect me (Turn away, turn away) From this electron beam? (Turn away, turn away) Hey you, Mr. FCC (Turn away, turn away) Have you no advice for me? (Turn away, turn away)
(Turn away, turn away) (Turn away, turn away)
