(browne/glenister)

Body sops and parking lots
No time to stop
It's another normal day
Self esteem and windowlene
You're squeaky clean
There's nothing left to say
Brillo pads and paper ads
That really have no meaning for me
But are these the only things
Happening on a worldwide tv
Contra deals and killing fields
You grease the wheels
But is it all it seems
Hunger strike and prices hike
Eat all you like
Well you know what i mean
Spinning tales and share price sales
Are bound to fail the things we believe
Ah !, but are these the only things
Happening on a worldwide tv

No one can tell you
That there's nowhere left to go
No one can sell you things
That you don't want to own
Hungry tramps and welfare stamps
I'll take a chance, that's not all you see
But are these the only things
Happening on a worldwide tv

Down the spout you close your mouth
It's not about the things you can see
In all of the things
That keep happening on a worldwide tv

There's no reason to be laughing now
And there's no way to turn back the time
It's sad to see the ceremonies
For this dying state of mind
There's nowhere left to go
Nobody's trying to tell you about something
That you don't already know

Hesitate but if you wait
You'll be too late
And miss the first scene
Are these the only things
Happening on a worldwide tv
Are these the only things
Happening on a worldwide tv
