Transfixated on the big blue screen
It's your window to the outside a melancholy dream
A medium upon wich you build reality
This episode currency that everybody needs

Somebodies delivery lulls you to sleep
The man behind the weather map the editor in chief
They control two worlds power and disease
And you cannot suppress your curiosity

But see it's only entertainment

Superficial urgency
Posterboard mentality
      D E F#
Only entertainment
D A B C# D E 
Tightly constrained
The buzz that remains is the story of how we run our lives

F# F# D D E E
Many are the people poor and suffering
From the lack of coverage from the transmission beam
And if it ever gets there you'll be offended too
'Cause you cannot distinguish chicanery from truth

Chorus:

        E F#			   D A B C#
Can't someone protect me (turn away, turn away)
From this electrom beam? (turn away, turn away)
Hey you, Mr. FCC? (turn away, turn away)
Have you no advice for me? (turn away, turn away)

Chorus:
