Story Behind the Song
Just observing our lack of reality.
Lyrics
where did we go today?
now old Bill is in the billions
and how much did we pay?
for the quick and dirty systems?
it's the beat of "why, 'too 'kay"
that's floatin' all these things today
and why we like to say
that we're free despite the pay
so thank God that we're all free
with your bible, and on your knees
just repeat it after me please,
"thank God, we've got TV"
hey, who's this greg palast?
and why'd we never see him?
did he say something too fast?
or did he just insult our freedom?
even though we're in control
the liberal heads will roll
because we're free to pass the buck
with that check and balance stuck
so thank George we're all free
and thank Laura for the tea
for if it wasn't for TV
we probably wouldn't be
hell, i know it sure would blow
... if we didn't rush... the radio
with what it all is, the sex appealing
with what's that working rich-quick dealing
real... damn... nicely
say it real fast, and that's precisely
the real reason is, and why we rule the air
manufacture anything, that feels quite fair
but where spraying underwear
is all we got to spare
in the motion twixt our ears
and the potion that God fears
when you look at it
and take a gander - sniff a bit
you see that's all there is
and join us as a whoring wiz
so thank God that we're all free
with your bible, and on your knees
just repeat it after me, please...
"thank God, we've got TV"
(real damned nicely,
that's it precisely,
thank God, we've got TV
thank God that we're free)
