|
The distance revered |
|
Like a spike on a ball |
|
Like a -speck- on a ball |
|
A circular imprint |
|
Stepped from the light |
|
And whispered a slogan |
|
Invented by anyone |
|
So they all went along |
|
And they yelled to the heavens |
|
Where some place is good |
|
Where you can find the right toothpaste |
|
Without hardly lookin' |
|
And it makes it sooooo easy |
|
Just like getting to Venus |
|
The resistance was weak |
|
Idealogy was whimpered |
|
But they stuck it out! |
|
With a brand new idea |
|
Gimme some smoke |
|
Gimme some dinner |
|
Gimme some smoke |
|
Gimme some dinner |
|
I'll get around to it |
|
I'll get around to it one of these days |
|
Probably when we realize that uh... |
|
We're all morticians |
|
So what's on TV? |
|
So what's on TV? |
|
So what's on TV? |
|
Okay! I'll nag in there! I'll hang out there! Okay I'll try! |
|
I'll try to see it the way you see it |
|
I'll try to see it the way you see |
|
I'll try to find ecstacy |
|
So what's on TV? |
|
So what's on TV? |
|
So what's on TV? |
|
(TV voice) "Hey, what's on TV?" |
|
Hey -- who's the leader here? |
|
Who's in control? |
|
What's gonna change? |
|
Except the characters |
|
And the color |
|
And the people |
|
They don't care |
|
They can't live without killin' |
|
People are strange |
|
We're all morticians |
|
Hey, what's on TV? |
|
What's on TV? |
|
What's on TV? |
|
People were... Well, we're all moriticians |
|
(TV voice) "I can't afford surprises! I have to find someone to help me keep this place under control!" |
