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

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
