|
I really want to know |
|
What you had in store |
|
I couldn't really tell |
|
Perhaps it's just as well |
|
I came here with a dream |
|
And I just had to see |
|
If my dream would soar |
|
I knocked on every door |
|
His whole life was written |
|
Written there inside |
|
The new weekly bible |
|
His modern T.V. Guide |
|
Every night he stares back at the screen, yeah |
|
A man only sees want he wants to see |
|
When he's in his mind |
|
Where he is that he wants to be |
|
Living in a world where he's safe from reality |
|
Won't you take a chance on this night |
|
And follow me |
|
Won't you follow me (repeat) |
|
Don't need no super heros |
|
Don't need no movie stars |
|
Don't need no politicians |
|
In big black shiny cars |
|
Don't need no preacher |
|
Whose church is my T.V. |
|
A man only sees what he wants to see |
|
When he's in his mind |
|
Where he is what he wants to be |
|
Living in a world where he's safe from reality |
|
Won't you take a chance on this night child |
|
And follow me |
|
Won't you follow me (repeat) |
|
Once was a broken hero |
|
The kind that we all know |
|
The kind that hides inside us |
|
For we never show |
|
The kind we say that could never be me |
|
His whole life was written |
|
Written there inside |
|
The new weekly bible |
|
His modern T.V. Guide |
|
Stare back at the screen, yeah yeah |
|
A man only sees want he wants to see |
