Some TV - Jon Anderson

Something in the dark is staring much to bad beginnings

Gangs of hungry kids are out stealing all the winnings

Strip the tourists on the floor, he is left with nothing

All he’s got is life, his soul and bad dreams ever more

Someone in the dark is fixing dynamite, destroying

Put it in the main street where the shops are full of bodies

Agents have protection, cold religious killing

Market their releases though they’re sent from heaven’s door

Now we’re not blind, now we can see

The truth is out, on your TV, on your TV

See it every day we focus CNN for dinner

Not so many killings everybody is a winner

Down in the dark the main street for the power and the glory

Must be something on the news to set our hearts on fire

We’re not blind, yes we can see

The news is bad, the big TV

One thing hits me more and more, I know you’re gonna get it

Good news doesn’t sell at all, no point in trying to tell it

More and more you realise good news is not important

Look around there’s so much more, my TV is distorted

Don’t be so blind, yes you can see

Distorted minds, on our TV

One thing hits me more and more, I know you’re gonna get it

Good news doesn’t settle all, no point in trying to tell it

More and more you realise good news is not important

Look around there’s so much more, my TV is distorted

Don’t be so blind, yes you can see

There is good news, on your TV

So this morning I went to turn on my tape

On my Magnavox colour TV

It turned around and said «Good morning Jon!

How are you today, today?»

Are you ready for some football?

Are you ready for The Price Is Right?

Are you ready for some football?

I thought, I’m ready for some football

I love my TV

It’s speaking to me

I love my TV
