Transfixated on the big blue screen
It's your window to the outside a melancholy dream
Amedium upon which you build reality
This episodic currency
That everybody needs

Somebody's 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
Only entertainment
Tightly constrained
The buzz that remains
Is the story of how we run our lives

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

See it's only entertainment
A superficial episode as life continues to unfold
Only entertainment
Controlled an copied
They've planted the seed
That sprouts into your picture of the world

Can't someone protect me? (turn away, turn away)
From this electron beam, (turn away, turn away)
Hey you, Mr. FCC, (turn away, turn away)
Have you no device for me? (turn away, turn away)
(Turn away, turn away)
See it's only entertainment
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
