Ric Ocasek - What's On Tv lyrics

The distance revered Like a spike on a ball Like a -speck- on a ball A circular imprint Stepped from the light And whispered a slogan Invented by anyone So they all went along And they yelled to the heavens Where some place is good Where you can find the right toothpaste Without hardly lookin' And it makes it sooooo easy Just like getting to Venus The resistance was weak Idealogy was whimpered But they stuck it out! With a brand new idea Gimme some smoke Gimme some dinner Gimme some smoke Gimme some dinner I'll get around to it I'll get around to it one of these days Probably when we realize that uh... We're all morticians So what's on TV? So what's on TV? So what's on TV? Okay! I'll nag in there! I'll hang out there! Okay I'll try! I'll try to see it the way you see it I'll try to see it the way you see I'll try to find ecstacy So what's on TV? So what's on TV? So what's on TV? (TV voice) "Hey, what's on TV?" Hey -- who's the leader here? Who's in control? What's gonna change? Except the characters And the color And the people They don't care They can't live without k**in' People are strange We're all morticians Hey, what's on TV? What's on TV? What's on TV? People were... Well, we're all moriticians (TV voice) "I can't afford surprises! I have to find someone to help me keep this place under control!"
