A television war between the cynics and the saints
Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on
 
Ah, sleeping on the White House lawn ain't never changed a thing

Look at all the washed out Hippie dreams
 
(Riff 1)
And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while
 
(Verse)
The tabloid generation's lost
Choking on it's fear
Used to be that's all we had to fear
 
And conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street.
 
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
As long as there's a victim on TV
 
(Riff 1)
And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while
 
 And my dirty dreams all come alive on my TV

screen
And assasination plots
Show me what I haven't got
Show me what I love, and who I'm s'posed to be
Show me everything I need
 
Show it all to me

(Riff 1)
And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while
