Citizen Fish

Picture This

Well they said it couldn't be done

But they always had it in mind

A picture machine! Like a radio

But a three-dimensional kind

Seeing what words could only say

Extending the views so far away

So much to see, so much to show

Let's see how far this thing can go

What's on T.V.?

What's on T.V.?

What's on T.V.?

What's on T.V.?

Well they said it shouldn't be done

But they always had it in mind

Charging a fee for the quality

And a bigger one to advertise

Too many viewpoints go unheard

When money talks so undisturbed

Here's the market -- Fill the blanks

For exploitation we say thanks

What's on T.V.? -- Fuck you!

What's on T.V.? -- Fuck you!

What's on T.V.?

What's on T.V.?

Well they said it couldn't be done

But they plugged into our minds

A one-way delivery feeding tube

Of reality simplified

Now our thoughts are in mass production

Our nerves de-densitized

This apex of invention

Has replaced our ears & eyes

Well I'd rather sing songs about nature

Being happy or having fun

But I asked at the desk when I got here

And they said it couldn't be done

Too much T.V.!

Too much T.V.!

Too much T.V.!

Too much T.V.!

More at ease with songs against T.V.

That's something we all know about

And we'd rather get off on the hatred

Than imagine the living without

I been watching too much telly

Almost turned my brain to jelly

Now I'm playing my cassettes

Get back to the music before you forget!

Before you forget!

Before you forget!

Before you forget!

Turn it off!
