One time in London I'd gone out for a walk |
|
Past a place called Hyde park where people talk |
|
'Bout all kinds of different gods, they have their point of view |
|
To anyone passing by, that's who they're talking to |
|
There was someone on a platform talking to the folks |
|
About the T.V. god and all the pain that it invokes |
|
"It's too bright a light", he said, "For anybody's eyes |
|
If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise." |
|
I moved in closer, got up on my toes |
|
Two men in front of me were coming to blows |
|
The man was saying something 'bout children when they're young |
|
Being sacrificed to it while lullabies are being sung |
|
"The news of the day is on all the time |
|
All the latest gossip, all the latest rhyme |
|
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free |
|
Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see." |
|
"Pray for peace!". he said, you could feel it in the crowd |
|
My thoughts began to wander. His voice was ringing loud |
|
"It will destroy your family, your happy home is gone |
|
No one can protect you fro it once you turn it on." |
|
"It will led you into some strange pursuits |
|
Lead you to the land of forbidden fruits |
|
It will scramble up your head and drag your brain about |
|
Sometimes you gotta do like Elvis did and shoot the damn thing out." |
|
"It's all been designed", he said, "To make you lose your mind |
|
And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find." |
|
"Everytime you look at it, your situation's worse |
|
If you feel it grabbing out for you, send for the nurse." |
|
The crowd began to riot and they grabbed hold of the man |
|
There was pushing, there was shoving and everybody ran |
|
The T.V. crew was there to film it, they jumped right over me |
|
Later on that evening, I watched it on T.V |
