Beaming to every segment of society
Go between border and border, both upper and lower borders
Flying at the speed of light
to every passive veiwer watching at home
The TV shows seem so multi-sided
Entertainment is provided, Nielsen is undecided
Ages, races, and sexes are divided
in every American home
Nowhere is equal opportunity
or a realistic view of life
Televisions
In the drinking bars, in foreign lands so far
Tune in or be left out
Televisions
In your living space, at your best friend's place
Tune in or be left out
Can you escape the commercial bias
that rewrites the reality of truth
That television often determines your choice
and big TV makes a slave of you
Just like sheep we are drawn to the butcher
Lying never ceases, we are hacked to pieces
and we are taken for a ride
by the manipulators of our life
Would someone sell his sorrow for several millions
Lose his privacy to all, so veiwers have a ball
Nothing is sacred any more
in our society of show and tell
Something out of Hollywood
from star-covered streets
and hot stage camera lights
Televisions
In the drinking bars, in foreign lands so far
Tune in or be left out
Televisions
In your living space, at your best friend's place
Tune in or be left out
Can you escape the commercial bias
that rewrites the reality of truth
That television often determines your choice
and big TV makes a slave of you
