Flat top intervention
00:13
Bringin' home the new invention
00:15
See it there in pieces on the ground
00:18
A television war between the cynics and the saints
00:23
Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on
00:28
Ah, sleeping on the White House lawn ain't never changed a thing
00:34
Look at all the washed out Hippie dreams
00:40
And it's fallin' all around us
00:45
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
00:50
Fallin' all around us
00:56
I'll turn my head off for a while
01:01
The tabloid generation's lost
01:06
Choking on it's fear
01:09
Used to be that's all we had to fear
01:12
And conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
01:17
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street
01:23
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
01:28
As long as there's a victim on TV
01:33
And it's fallin' all around us
01:39
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
01:44
Fallin' all around us
01:50
I'll turn my head off for a while
01:55
And my dirty dreams all come alive
02:01
On my TV screen
02:05
And assasination plots
02:08
Show me what I haven't got
02:19
Show me what I love, and who I'm supposed to be
02:22
Show me everything I need
02:26
Show it all to me
02:32
Show it all to me
02:37
And it's fallin' all around us
03:24
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
03:29
Fallin' all around us
03:35
I'll turn my head off for a while
03:40

Flat top intervention
Bringin' 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
Ah, sleeping on the White House lawn ain't never changed a thing
Look at all the washed out Hippie dreams
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
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
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 supposed to be
Show me everything I need
Show it all to me
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
