I turn my TV on
and Sally Struthers shows me all these kids
they got no food to eat
they got no place to live
but we can't seem to worry about a world that don't exist
we close our eyes, they live in TV land

We came for entertainment
We stayed for confidence
We live in synthetic comfort
We live with uncommon sense

I turn my TV on
and there's this lawyer telling me to sue
he's got the easy way
for people to get paid
praying on the ignorance of greedy little fools
I close my eyes, he lives in TV land

They think that television will save the world
but it's just a stupid excuse to sell more goods and services
but now, just think of all the things they made you
clamor for
you ought to walk out the door

I turn my TV on
and wonder about these telepsychic friends
eternal happiness
the answers to the test
paying by the minute, what's the price of happiness?
I close my eyes, they live in TV land

Why fight it? You'll never win?
Why fight it? You'll never win?
