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 that's whose side you're on Sleeping on the white house lawn ain't never changed a thing Look at all the washed out hippie dreams
And it's falling all around us Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us? Falling all around us I'll turn my head off for a while
Tabloid generation's lost Choking on it's fear Used to be that's all we had to fear conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the streets A visionary coward says that anger can be power As long as there's a victim on tv
And it's falling all around us Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us Falling all around us I'll 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 haven't got Show me what I love and who I'm supposed to be Show me everything I need Show it all to me
And it's falling all around us Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us? Falling all around us I'll turn my head off for a while
