Flat top intervention
Bringing home the new invention
See it there in pieces on the ground
A television war between the cynics and the saints
Flip the dial and thats whose side youre on
Sleeping on the white house lawn aint never changed a thing
Look at all the washed out hippie dreams

And its falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke theyre trying to pull on us?
Falling all around us
Ill turn my head off for a while

Tabloid generations lost
Choking on its fear
Used to be thats all we had to fear
conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
Theres knowledge wrapped in blankets on the streets
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
As long as theres a victim on tv And its falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke theyre trying to pull on us
Falling all around us
Ill turn my head off for a while

And my dirty dreams all come alive
On my TV screen
And assassination plots
Show me what I havent got
Show me what I love and who Im supposed to be
Show me everything I need
Show it all to me

And its falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke theyre trying to pull on us?
Falling all around us
Ill turn my head off for a while
