Lyric Flat Top

Flat top intervention
Bringing home the new invention
See it there in pieces on the ground
A television war between the cynics and the saints
Flip the dial and that s whose side you re on
Sleeping on the white house lawn ain t never changed a thing
Look at all the washed out hippie dreams

And it s falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they re trying to pull on us?
Falling all around us
I ll turn my head off for a while

Tabloid generation s lost, choking on it s fear
Used to be that s all we had to fear conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
There s knowledge wrapped in blankets on the streets
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
As long as there s a victim on tv

And it s falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they re trying to pull on us
Falling all around us
I ll turn my head off for a while

And my dirty dreams all come alive on my TV screen
And assassination plots, show me what I haven t got
Show me what I love and who I m supposed to be
Show me everything I need
Show it all to me, show it all to me

And it s falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they re trying to pull on us?
Falling all around us
I ll turn my head off for a while
