Citizen Fish - Picture This lyrics

Well they said it couldn't be done But they always had it in mind A picture machine! Like a radio But a three-dimensional kind Seeing what words could only say Extending the views so far away So much to see, so much to show Let's see how far this thing can go What's on T.V.? What's on T.V.? What's on T.V.? What's on T.V.? Well they said it shouldn't be done But they always had it in mind Charging a fee for the quality And a bigger one to advertise Too many viewpoints go unheard When money talks so undisturbed Here's the market -- Fill the blanks For exploitation we say thanks What's on T.V.? -- f** you! What's on T.V.? -- f** you! What's on T.V.? What's on T.V.? Well they said it couldn't be done But they plugged into our minds A one-way delivery feeding tube Of reality simplified Now our thoughts are in ma** production Our nerves de-densitized This apex of invention Has replaced our ears & eyes Well I'd rather sing songs about nature Being happy or having fun But I asked at the desk when I got here And they said it couldn't be done Too much T.V.! Too much T.V.! Too much T.V.! Too much T.V.! More at ease with songs against T.V. That's something we all know about And we'd rather get off on the hatred Than imagine the living without I been watching too much telly Almost turned my brain to jelly Now I'm playing my ca**ettes Get back to the music before you forget! Before you forget! Before you forget! Before you forget! Turn it off!
