Picture This (The Invention Of Television)
Lyricist:Dave Davies
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 view so far away So much to see, so much to show Let's see how far this thing can go What's on TV?
Well, they said it shouldn't be done But they always had it in mind Charge 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, thank you
What's on TV? Well, they said it couldn't be done Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But they plugged into our minds A one way delivery feeding tube of reality simplified Now our thoughts are in mass production
Our nerves desensitized This apex of invention has replaced our ears and eyes 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 TV, more at ease with songs against TV That's something we can all know about And we'd rather get off on the hatred Than imagine living without
I been watching too much telly Almost turned my brain to jelly Now I'm playing my cassettes Get back to music before you forget Turn it off
